Last week, a group of Australian activists who had tried to sail to Gaza on a flotilla of boats carrying humanitarian aid returned home. They’ve publicly alleged that while the Israeli Defence Force had them in custody, soldiers sexually and physically assaulted them.

Now, the Australian Federal Police says it is investigating their allegations. On today’s podcast, we’ll unpack what has been alleged and what the AFP can actually do.
