A Cork activist has said he was left with a black eye and subjected to beatings after being stripped of his clothes by Israeli forces.

Tom Deasy, from Clonakilty, was on board the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attempting to bring aid to Gaza when Israeli forces intercepted the vessel in international waters earlier this week.
