Kieran Andrieu na one of di 13 British citizens wey Israel detain illegally afta dem attack di Global Sumud Flotilla for international waters.

For interview wey e do with Anadolu for Heathrow Airport, where e land late Sunday from Türkiye with three oda British activists – Sarah Wilkinson, Francis Cummings, and Evie Snedker – e explain say di trip last pass wetin dem expect because e hard well well.

But e add say, "Na di love wey we get for Palestine and di people of Gaza first hold us together. Second, na di bond of loyalty wey we build with each oda afta we don dey di boat for some time, na im carry us through."

E talk say dem face plenty wahala for di journey, like drone attack, bad weather, and logistics problem, but e still no reach di daily suffer wey Palestinians dey face under occupation.

"E no dey legal under international law for dem to board our boat or intercept us. We get every right to dey Gaza territorial waters as long as di people of Gaza want us," e tok, as e mention di Israeli attack on di flotilla.

‘Dem blindfold us’

Andrieu explain how Israeli forces treat dem afta dem detain dem illegally. E talk say dem no give dem water for long time, wey dey against Geneva Convention.

"Dem blindfold us, tie us for bus wey cold well well for midnight, carry us go one prison for Negev desert, where dem don torture Palestinian prisoners before."

E remember say dem pack dem inside small cells, 10 to 12 people for one cell, and dem no even give dem di medicine wey dem need.

"Dem dey throw people medicine away for front of dem. I see people wey get heart problem, even people wey don reach 80 years, dem medicine dem throway am."

E also talk about how Israeli officials dey call di people for di flotilla "terrorists." E say, "Na funny tin, terrorists wey di only weapon dem carry na baby food, rice, and medicine."

"Di real terrorists na di people wey dey commit genocide, bomb dia neighbours anyhow, and don create plenty child amputees pass any oda place for di world dis past century," e add.

‘Clear torture’

Andrieu describe di way dem treat dem as "clear torture." E talk say dem force dem kneel down for six hours, and dat one na form of torture.

E give example of one activist wey dey shout "help, medical emergency" for night, say e no fit breathe. But di Israeli officials no do anything, even though doctor dey di prison.

"At last, we just tell am make e try calm down, because e clear say dem ready to let am die," e tok.

‘Di most important tin’

Andrieu express im happiness for di one day wey e spend for Türkiye afta dem deport am from Israel. E say, "Di Turks really try. Dem give us beta food and comfortable bed."

E appreciate di hospitality, but e talk say di most important tin na how dem carry dem go meet doctors, lawyers, and gather evidence of crimes against humanity.

Israel don deport about 170 Gaza flotilla participants go different countries, including Istanbul, Italy, and Spain.
