French activist Meriem Hadjal has spoken out about being beaten and sexually assaulted by Israeli soldiers after the Global Sumud Flotilla was intercepted in international waters on May 14. Speaking to franceinfo after returning to France, Hadjal described being groped, beaten on the head, and grabbed by the hair inside a detention container at Ashdod Port, and said she feared she was going to be raped. 430 activists from 40 countries were detained after Israeli forces seized the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. Organisers say participants described widespread sexual violence, beatings, and humiliating treatment in detention.
