Israel’s Foreign Ministry dismissed Greta Thunberg’s claims that she was mistreated after her arrest as «brazen lies.»
Greta Thunberg’s alleged claims that she sat for hours on hard surfaces in a bedbug-infested Israeli jail while denied adequate food and water have been blasted by Israel’s Foreign Ministry as «brazen lies.»
According to correspondence from the Swedish Foreign Ministry, seen by The Guardian, Thunberg told officials she developed rashes possibly caused by bedbugs.
The activist was also said to have complained of dehydration.
A letter shared with Thunberg’s parents also reportedly said she described «harsh and exhausting» treatment after she was detained by Israeli forces during her Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla aid expedition.
