Activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla say that Israeli forces sexually abused them during their detainment in international waters.

The organizers of the aid flotilla say they documented at least 15 cases of sexual abuse, including rape.

Between May 18 and 19, the Israeli Navy intercepted over 50 boats and detained over 430 activists off the coast of Cyprus.
