Lawyers for the Australians detained after Israel intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla are now building a record of what happened. 

They’re reviewing footage, collecting medical evidence, and taking witness statements alleging beatings, humiliation, denial of food and water, and detention in harsh conditions. 

The legal team says the evidence points to serious abuse of Australian citizens – and amounts to crimes.

So now the Australians are home, the question is what happens next: whether Australia will do more than condemn, and whether Israel will face any consequence.

Today, human rights lawyer Bernadette Zaydan, who represents the 11 Australians on the Global Sumud Flotilla, on what accountability looks like.

This is part two of a two part episode. If you haven’t already, go back and listen to our conversation with flotilla participant, Juliet Lamont.
