Tortured, tased, threatened: Asian flotilla activists recount violence in Israeli captivity

JAKARTA: Rahendro Herubowo remembers that the torture began almost as soon as he was thrown onto the deck of an Israeli military ship converted into a detention vessel. He and fellow activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla were forced to lie down on a floor flooded with water, and were then moved into a large container, where armed, masked soldiers kept on assaulting them. “We were beaten there. We weren’t allowed to stand up straight while we were moving, so we were half-squatting as we walked and were beaten on the stomach, on the waist, left and right,” Herubowo told Arab News.
