Activists Allege Abuse, Sexual Assault in Israeli Detention; International Pressure Mounts

KATHMANDU. International pressure is mounting, with allegations of mistreatment by Israeli security forces against activists on the 'Global Sea Flotilla' carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. As videos of the mistreatment of foreign nationals participating in the flotilla's relief supply mission have surfaced, various countries around the world have begun to react towards Israel.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called the incident 'horrific and unacceptable' and demanded an independent investigation. However, he has not announced any new sanctions or punitive measures against Israel.
