VIDEO | 'They beat us, shot at us with rubber bullets, and injected us with substances.'

Alonso Agustin Santos Rivera, a member of the Sumud Flotilla recently pirated by Israeli forces, describes a harrowing pattern of physical and psychological abuse suffered while detained by Israeli forces.

According to his account, detainees were confined to fenced containers and subjected to continuous physical violence, which included being shot with rubber bullets and tasers, targeted with grenades, blinded by intense searchlights, and attacked by dogs.

Rivera notes that "they injected us with substances" and used tightly bound restraints that cut off blood circulation, causing pain so intense they felt they were losing their mind or about to die.
