The Norwegian authorities have criticized the Israeli government over what they describe as excessive force used against activists during an operation in May. According to the report, 430 activists from the Global Peace Fleet were detained by Israeli forces aboard boats heading to Gaza with humanitarian aid. Four Norwegians were among those detained and held in Israel for approximately a week, during which several were subjected to physical abuse. At least 45 activists reportedly suffered sexual violence.
