She told AFP airport police broke her arm during her detention before putting her on a flight to Istanbul.
“I arrived yesterday (Monday). They took me out of customs, held me overnight, threw me on the floor, and broke my arm. Two policemen jumped on me and broke my arm,” she said in a telephone conversation aboard her flight.
An airport official said Benjamin “dislocated her shoulder,” without elaborating.
Benjamin had been banned from entering Egypt after a 2010 visit in which she protested against Cairo’s refusal to allow pro-Palestinian activists to enter the blockaded Gaza Strip.
