So they took control of the boat and then they took us to a really large prison boat that was used last flotilla.
And we were all dragged one by one onto that.
So it was a hectic transportation to the prison boat.
And then, yeah, it got worse.
I was dragged up, cable tied, thrown on the deck.
They shackled my ankles.
And then I think maybe they knew that I had been on the last flotilla because they were using my first name.
As soon as I heard that they knew my name was Juliet, I kind of knew I was in trouble.
And then some of the people on my boat were kind of dragged away.
There was a lot of slapping, a lot of shouting, balaclava men.
You know, it was tense straight away.
But then when I hit the deck, they used a lot of water.
They sort of did this waterboarding technique where I was lying down and my hands were behind my back and my...
ankles were in cuffs and they put so much water under my face that I was starting to not be able to breathe and I thought that I was going to drown.
So that was kind of, yeah, welcome, welcome to the prison boat.
Yeah, and then I was dragged to a really dark container ship and they said, welcome to Israel, was the first thing they said.
And then somebody says something like, you're going to really, really enjoy this.
And then I was at the entrance of a shipping container that was dark.
I was dragged through.
I was kicked numerous times.
