Irish Author Speaks Out on Israeli Detention

A young Irish woman, author Naoise Dolan, has shared her experience in Israeli detention after being intercepted by Israeli forces on a flotilla delivering aid.

Dolan recounted her ordeal, saying:

They beat people, they gave people black eyes. They pulled people by their hair.

She also described the conditions in the detention cell, noting a giant Israeli flag and a poster with an image of a destroyed road in Gaza, captioned "the new Gaza" in Arabic.

Dolan expressed her horror at the situation, including a small playground for children in an Israeli immigration prison with barbed wire on the ceiling.
