British MP Zarah Sultana has questioned why the UK government has not taken stronger action following reports of abuse against activists detained by ‘Israel’ after participating in the Global Sumud aid flotilla bound for Gaza.
In a post on X, Sultana noted that France had referred reports of sexual violence, beatings and humiliation against flotilla activists to prosecutors after receiving testimony from French nationals detained by ‘Israel’.
“Where is the UK government?” Sultana wrote, criticizing London’s response to the reported treatment of the activists.
She contrasted the British government's position with actions taken by French authorities and accused London of remaining silent despite the reports.
The comments come amid continued international attention on the treatment of activists involved in efforts to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
