There was five men in there.

They still had balaclavas on, but you could sort of see the silhouette of, you know, how big they were.

They were definitely all males.

I was kicked.

I was punched in the face.

I was sexually assaulted.

They pulled down my trousers and, yeah, sexually assaulted me in the most horrific manner.

One guy, which is so weird and so kind of infantile, this was all happening, was sort of like pulling at my hair like somebody would do like in the playground of a primary school.

Yeah.

It was just weird, just constantly humiliating you, you know, not only your body but there was this sort of like one had an American accent and it's, yeah, it's kind of like, you know, do you like it like this girl?

Just really gross.

Like they were really enjoying it.

And then the last punch which drew a lot of blood and I had a cut lip, then I was sort of thrown out into an open area which was a quadrangle where we sort of lived for the next,

two days and I saw that my daughter was there, which had been a really big fear of mine, that Isla would be met with, you know, a similar fate.

And maybe there was 50 people when I was sort of spat out into that open-air sort of prison space.

Yeah, and then the next hour we heard the howls and screams and bashings of everybody else that came on that boat, and that probably was until it was dark.

So, yeah, that was day one of the prison boat.

It was absolute hell.

But, as everybody says, imagine what happens to Palestinians.

It was obvious that there'd been orders that they weren't allowed to kill us.
