Flotilla members claim they were mistreated before release

Greeks cheer Thunberg after Israel expels activists

Greta Thunberg arrived in Greece to a cheering pro-Palestinian crowd yesterday after she and hundreds of other activists captured by Israel on the high seas were deported following an attempt to bring aid to Gaza.

Israel said it expelled 171 activists, including the climate activist, bringing the total deported so far to 341, out of 479 people it detained when it captured the flotilla attempting to break its naval blockade of Gaza.

Greece said 161 of the activists arrived on a flight to Athens yesterday, including Ms Thunberg. They included 27 Greeks, as well as citizens of nearly 20 other countries.

"Let me be very clear. There is a genocide going on," Ms Thunberg told the crowd at Athens airport.
