Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel and is on her way back to Sweden. She has now stopped over in France.
We were illegally attacked and kidnapped by Israel on international waters and taken against our will to Israel where we were held and some of us were deported, some of us are still there, says Thunberg.
She says further that she does not know what is happening to the other activists and that she is very worried about them.
There were problems meeting lawyers, says Thunberg and adds that she demands that they be released immediately.
On the way to Gaza
Thunberg and eleven other activists were on their way to the Gaza Strip with a ship carrying aid when their ship was boarded by Israel on international waters during the night before Monday.
After 20 hours in detention, the activists were taken to Ben Gurion Airport outside Tel Aviv where they were questioned.
Israel's Foreign Ministry stated that those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be "brought before a legal authority in accordance with Israeli law, to approve their deportation".
Four of them, including Greta Thunberg, signed the document and flew out of the country on Tuesday. The remaining eight refused and are still in Israel waiting for their deportation to be approved in court.
All twelve have, according to a press release from Freedom Flotilla, the organization behind the voyage, denied Israel's claims that they entered the country illegally.
The organization's appeal
According to Freedom Flotilla, the organization appealed to part of the group to agree to deportation to create better communication opportunities and to represent the activists who are still in Israeli detention.
However, all of them protested against Israel's intervention, which the organization calls politically motivated and in conflict with international law.
Greta Thunberg is expected to land in Stockholm on Wednesday evening.
