JUST IN: Greta Thunberg says she was tortured and sexually humiliated by Israeli forces. In her Aftonbladet interview, she described:
“They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me.”
“They dragged me … I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me.”
“They moved me very brutally … ‘A special place for a special lady,’ they said … they repeated ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore), ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta).”
She says a flag was placed to touch her; when it fluttered, guards shouted “Don’t touch the flag” and kicked her side. Her hands were later tied tightly, and guards lined up to take selfies with her in that state.
While lying face down, she says she was beaten repeatedly:
“Every time I lifted my head … I was kicked by the guard standing next to me.”
In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.;
"The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that."
"They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me."
Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed. "The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm."
Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says. "It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent."
“We begged … Can we have water? … They walked laughing in front of the bars with water bottles, throwing them in the trash.”
When people fainted, she says they pounded on cages and asked for a doctor, only to be threatened:
“‘We’re going to gas you.’”
She warned:
“If Israel … can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors.”
Thunberg accused the Swedish government of downplaying their ordeal and failing to pressure for aid:
“We showed them … our injuries … they said: ‘Our job is to listen … you are entitled to consular support.’”
“We asked for water … They didn’t bring any.”
Emails from Sweden’s Foreign Ministry described the scene as: “harsh treatment and that she had been sitting on a hard surface for a long time,” underplaying her claims of torture.
