Activists who were detained by Israeli forces while sailing to Gaza with humanitarian aid say they've been held in inhumane conditions.

Israeli naval forces intercepted the Madleen in international waters early Monday and detained all 12 activists on board.

The activists say authorities were also threatening and abusive.
