CBC is reporting that "Three activists whose Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in international waters by Israeli forces have returned home to Vancouver, with one of them saying they went through four days of continuous beatings and torture."
"Sebastian Tow, Michael France and Mary Grace Mathisen were surrounded and greeted by hundreds of supporters, family and friends at at Vancouver International Airport on Sunday, with tears and hugs filling the airport's arrival hall."
"Tow, from Vancouver, says the flotilla group were kidnapped in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea by Israeli forces, and every one of them was dragged aboard prison ships and beaten."
"He says four days of torture left him with several Taser burns and bruises on his body, but many people got even worse. For example, on his prison ship alone, he says there were over 30 cases of broken and fractured ribs."
"The Canadians were among 420 people on 41 boats intercepted by Israel as they attempted to bring a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza amid Israel's restrictions" starving civilians amidst a genocide.
