Israel will take Flotilla activists, including Greta Thunberg, to Ketziot Prison.
The prison is notorious for its violent treatment of Palestinian inmates.
Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla abducted by the Israeli military in international waters on Wednesday night are expected to be transferred to one of Israel’s most notorious torture prisons. The Ketziot prison, located in the Negev Desert, has been the site of repeated abuses against Palestinian prisoners.
In 2021, footage emerged of dozens of Palestinians shackled and thrown to the ground, while Israeli guards kicked and punched them in turn. No officers were ever charged.
In 2023, a 38-year old Palestinian prisoner was beaten to death by a group of guards who wore helmets to disguise their faces.
