Greta Thunberg Held in Bedbug-Infested Israeli Jail Cell

Celebrity Climate activist Greta Thunberg claims she’s been subjected to heinous conditions inside a bedbug-infested Israeli holding cell following her detention as part of an aid flotilla bound for Gaza.

Sweden’s Foreign Ministry notified Thunberg’s parents via email, which was shared with The Guardian, that they had met with the outspoken 22-year-old in Israel.

In the email, officials said Thunberg has complained of dehydration, claiming she hasn’t been given enough food or water.

“She also stated that she had developed rashes, which she suspects were caused by bedbugs,” the email said. “She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces.”

Thunberg also told Swedish dignitaries she’d been forced to pose for pictures holding flags, and wanted to know if they had been shared with the media.

Several people were detained for taking part in the coordinated Global Sumud Flotilla.

All told, nine Swedes were taken into custody for participating in the flotilla.
