Flotilla activists report rape and torture after Israeli abduction at sea

Anti-genocide activists released from Israeli custody after Israel seized a Gaza-bound aid flotilla say they were tortured, sexually assaulted and denied basic legal rights. Organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla said several activists were hospitalised after their release, while at least 15 reported sexual assaults, including rape. Israeli forces abducted at least 430 people from 50 vessels in international waters on Tuesday as they moved to block the flotilla from delivering aid to Gaza.
