Other freed detainees have claimed that the climate change campaigner was dragged by her hair and beaten in front of them, accusations which the Israeli embassy has called ‘complete lies’.
The Guardian has reported that it has seen correspondence from Swedish officials detailing a visit to Thunberg in her prison cell.

The email read: ‘The embassy has been able to meet with Greta. She was informed of dehydration.
‘She has received insufficient amounts of both water and food. She also stated that she had developed rashes, which she suspects were caused by bedbugs.’
Thunberg was part of the 40-boat flotilla, which was intercepted by the Israeli navy on Thursday and Friday.
The mission is the largest effort of its kind, aiming to reach Gaza, where 2.4million Palestinians live under an Israeli blockade.
It is the second time she was arrested, after a similar attempt earlier this year saw her confined and then deported.
Israeli prison officials have faced accusations of torture and degrading treatment of prisoners on numerous occasions.
The Israeli embassy called the latest allegations ‘complete lies’.
