Flotilla activists report torture, beatings by Israeli forces

Activists detained during the Global Sumud Flotilla interception have reported being subjected to violence including shots, beatings, and broken bones during their arrest by Israeli naval forces, Tagesspiegel reports. French militants detained at sea described being tortured for three days before expulsion, while the incident has triggered international condemnation with pro-Palestinian demonstrations erupting across Europe, including a 1,000-person protest in Athens outside the Israeli embassy.
