Campaigner Greta Thunberg has arrived home in Sweden, after Israel detained her and other activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid boat and deported some, AFP reports.

The remaining eight were taken into custody after they refused to leave Israel voluntarily, and brought before a detention review tribunal yesterday, rights group Adalah said.

Thunberg, 22, accused Israel of “kidnapping us in international waters and taking us against our will to Israel”.

“This is yet another intentional violation of rights that is added to the list of countless other violations that Israel is committing,” she said at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

Asked on arrival in Stockholm if she was scared when Israeli security forces boarded the sailboat, Thunberg replied: “What I’m afraid of is that people are silent during an ongoing genocide”.
