A person speaks passionately into a microphone at an event, wearing a black and white scarf. Text reads:


 


In the night, guards would apparently wake the prisoners by regularly shaking the bars, shining a flashlight, and forcing everybody to stand up. Greta alleges that she was also placed in a bug-infested isolation cell at one point.

Representatives from the Swedish embassy in Israel did not come to meet with the Swedish prisoners for three days, but Greta says that they “didn’t do anything.” She added: “We were together and told them about the treatment we received. About the lack of food, water, about the abuse. The torture. We showed them the physical injuries we had – bruises and scratches.”

“We said over and over again: we need water,” Greta said. “The embassy staff said: ’We’ll make a note of that.’ One of us, Vincent, said: ‘Next time we meet you, you must bring water.’”

She claims that the embassy staff did not return for another two days and didn’t bring any water apart from a half-empty one of their own, which the prisoners gave to Vincent, who “was in the worst shape.”

Greta was released and deported to Greece after five days in captivity. When her suitcase was returned to her, “Whore Greta” had been written on it in large letters, as well as a Star of David and an erect penis.
