'Cruel, inhuman and degrading': Iran slams Israel’s mistreatment of rights activist - Lemmy

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s mistreatment of a rights activist who stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people, describing its actions as “cruel, inhuman and degrading.” Esmail Baghaei made the remarks in a post on X, referring to reports that Israel “tortured and sexually humiliated” Greta Thunberg. He cited Thunberg’s recent interview with a Swedish newspaper, in which the young activist described being violently assaulted during a protest. “They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me,” Thunberg was quoted as saying. The spokesman said Israel’s behavior reflects a deliberate effort to instill fear and suppress dissent amid its genocide in Gaza.
