The plane with Greta Thunberg and the other Swedish activists landed in Athens on Monday afternoon, according to the organization Global Movement to Gaza Sweden.
In a TV broadcast from the airport, Greta Thunberg can be seen together with other activists in the arrival hall.
Let me be very clear, a genocide is taking place before our eyes, a live genocide. No one can say that they are not aware of what is happening, says Thunberg.
Greta Thunberg criticizes the world's governments for not doing more to put pressure on Israel, according to her.
According to international law, states have a legal obligation to act to prevent and stop genocide. This means that one must cease participation, exert real pressure and stop arms transfers. We do not see that this is happening, says Thunberg.
"Mistreated"
She does not want to comment further on how she and the other activists were treated during their captivity in Israel.
I could talk a long time about how we were mistreated and subjected to abuse during our prison time, believe me, but that's not the point, says Thunberg.
The activists were flown with a chartered plane from Israel. In Greece, they will meet with staff who will review their well-being and document their experiences, according to Global Movement to Gaza Sweden.
They will probably spend one night in Athens before being flown home to Sweden on Tuesday, according to the organization's spokesperson Anna Fransson.
Israel's Foreign Ministry writes on X that 171 "provocateurs" - including Thunberg - have been deported, and publishes a picture of Thunberg at an airport during the afternoon.
In desert prison
The activists have been held in the desert prison Ketziot since the convoy they were traveling in, with the intention of breaking the blockade against Gaza, was stopped by the Israeli military last week. About 130 are estimated to still be in the prison.
Activists who have been interviewed say that Greta Thunberg, among other things, was dragged by the hair and forced to kiss the Israeli flag. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson says that the government takes the reports seriously.
We do not accept that any Swede is treated badly. But we have to see what information can be confirmed, he says.
Israel denies the reports of harsh treatment, and calls the allegations a "PR stunt".
