Gaza activist: Israeli treatment was 'barbaric'

The last of the Irish passport holders detained by the Israelis while attempting to enter Gaza has arrived back into the country describing his treatment as "barbaric".

Al Mahdi Al Harati - who is a diabetic - was on board a ship that was part of a flotilla carrying aid bound for Gaza when it was intercepted.

The father of four said he had been treated badly but thanked the Irish and Turkish governments for their efforts while he was in detention.
