🚨 A German journalist detained aboard the Freedom Flotilla ship Conscience has accused Israeli prison authorities of raping her during custody.

Speaking publicly about it for the first time, Anna Liedtke said the assault took place during a strip search while being transferred between Israeli prisons after Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound humanitarian vessel in fall 2025.

“We were transferred from one prison to another, and during the strip searches I was raped,” she said.

She was held for five days following the interception of Conscience, which aimed to challenge Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza. Prisoner advocacy groups say her testimony adds to mounting evidence of systematic sexual abuse in Israeli detention.

I'm super exited to announce the global premiere of my latest @AJEnglish film, Germany's Israel Obsession, with @FilmsBlackleaf and director Dan Davies.
It's an investigation into Germany's rising fascism, rampant anti-Palestinian racism and ignoring historical lessons.
Thanks to the amazing team in multiple countries for their work, insights and experience.
Please watch and share far and wide:

I don’t think any state in history has been given this degree of impunity to carry out such incessant, sadistic, genocidal evil as Israel has in Gaza.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

The Israeli Centre for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, B'TSELEM, agonised long (too long in my view) and hard before coming up with this report and its crystal clear verdict: Israel is committing genocide. Nothing more needs to be said

This morning Israel killed Dr. Mousa Hamdan Khafaja, a renowned consultant in obstetrics and gynecology.

His tent was bombed in a 'safe zone' and he was killed along with his three children.

Israel has killed over 1580 medical staff since October the 7th.

In other news the British governments have prescribed Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

Welfare bill climbdown will have ‘a cost’ at budget, says UK minister.

Another tactic for driving down people's aspirations.

UK can bail out banks, subsidise corporations, fund wars but can't tackle poverty.

Last yr HMRC didn't collect £46.8bn of taxes.
