#Flotilla Members Arrive in Turkey, Describe #Israel's Abuse of #GretaThunberg

by #CensoredNews , October 4, 2025

"Sunday morning update:

The Global Sumud Flotilla said 29 more participants were released today, Sunday, and flown to Spain, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The released activists include citizens of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. So far, Greta Thunberg has not been released.

Flotilla members arriving in Turkey yesterday said they drank water from the toilet, women were imprisoned in dog cages, and they were woke up at night by snipers and German Shepherds, with
Israelis screaming, "We're going to shoot you." Their medicines were thrown away, Flotilla participants said in Istanbul upon arrival.

Greta Thunberg was treated the worst, and dragged by hair and abused. She remains in the violent Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert in Israel. Nelson Mandela's grandson is also imprisoned.

The first group of 137 from the Global Sumud Flotilla arrived in Turkey yesterday, and were greeted with bouquets of flowers in Instabul, most were Turkish and Malaysian. There were 470 illegally arrested in international waters. Only one U.S. citizen was released. Families Greta Thunberg, who came to Standing Rock in 2019 to support Water Protectors, is shown here
detained by Israel after being abducted in international waters on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. Swedish officials said she is dehydrated from the lack of water and food in prison. Arriving in Turkey now, Turkish activists describe the brutal abuse of Greta by Israel.

Windfield Beaver of California arrived in Turkey and described Israel's abuse of Greta Thunberg, Reuters reports.

Ayçin Kantoglu said the women were kept in a dog shelter, denied food for three days, forced to drink toilet water, and that Greta was "beaten, had an Israeli flag tied to her back, and was paraded around
the room with her hands tied behind her back."

"The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg, dragged her on the ground, and made her kiss the Israeli flag," said Turkish journalist and #SumudFlotilla activist Ersin Celik arriving in Turkey now.

"They wanted to make an example."
Greta Thunberg, who came to #StandingRock to support Water Protectors in 2019, was shackled and treated brutally.

Malaysian activist Hajwani Helmi said, “It was unbearable — they treated us like animals,” said Helmi, adding that detainees were denied food, clean water, and medicine throughout their detention.
A 70-year-old Scottish woman, arriving in Turkey with a broken leg, said she was given no food or water in prison, and the guard slammed a metal door on her broken leg.

"That prison was awful," said Margaret Pacetta from Glasgow upon arrival at the airport in Turkey.

Another woman arriving in Turkey said mothers had written the names of their children in blood on the prison walls.

"They locked us in animal cages."
"Walls had writings in blood in Arabic 'drink from the toilet."
"We were starved for 40 hrs."

"Neil Young traveled to the Standing Rock Reservation this past weekend to perform for Native American tribes and allies protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, as CoS points out. Find footage below. Young was celebrating his 71st birthday during his trip to the protests. The singer-songwriter has expressed his solidarity with the movement in the past; in September, he shared the video for his song 'Indian Givers,' featuring footage from the protests as well as the lyrics, 'There’s a battle raging on the sacred land/Our brothers and sisters have to take a stand/Against us now for what we all been doing/On the sacred land there’s a battle brewing.' "

Reposted original tweets from UR's on-the-ground #StandingRock #NoDAPL coverage on Sept. 3, 2016:

"12 workers were digging by Red Warrior Camp. Protectors confronted workers, who responded with pepper spray."

"Today 6 water protectors were bit by private security dogs. Then a dog changed sides."

9 years ago today in Morton County, North Dakota:

Security contractors sicced dogs on Native people protecting their unceded treaty territory from Energy Transfer, the oil giant building the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Ancient burial sites were later identified in this area.

"I don't rock 'n' roll, nah, I stand and rock (Standin' Rock, yi)
I think there's something in the water, here's some food for thought
Is it really a felony for wanting my water clean?
Expect us not to rage against the machine
We ain't movin' like Rosa P, nope
You know why, 'cause this dreamcatcher's catchin' your pipe dream
Look what happened to Flint
No disrespect, but the same happens to village kids that sip water from the tap
And they're dyin' to live from the cancer it gives
Where's the state of emergency for them?
Act like you know the story
Broken treaties, unholy matrimony
One nation under the creator, homie
All my relations, mni wiconi"
