Brazilian flotilla activist Thiago Ávila returns to São Paulo after being detained and deported from Israel, according to reports from Al Jazeera and Al-Monitor. The outlets say Ávila arrived back in Brazil following roughly 10 days in custody in Israel. Al-Monitor, citing a Reuters report, adds that Ávila alleges he was tortured during his detention. He also claims he witnessed abuse of Palestinian prisoners while in custody. Al Jazeera similarly states that he is back in São Paulo after detention and deportation from Israel. The reports present Ávila’s account of his treatment in custody, but they do not include confirmation from Israeli authorities or independent verification of the allegations. The story centers on his return to Brazil and his allegations regarding conditions and treatment during his detention, alongside the fact of his deportation.
