The Israeli Embassy in Korea claimed Tuesday that Israeli forces had neither detained nor mistreated Korean activists who were released last week after being captured aboard aid vessels bound for the Gaza Strip.

"Upon their arrival at the port of Ashdod, the two individuals were processed immediately and deported through an expedited procedure. This further calls into question the allegations they have made," the embassy said.
