Earlier this week on #PressFreedomDay2022, @mbachelet, the @UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the use of Israeli NSOGroup's spyware #Pegasus against journalists worldwide as "an affront to privacy and press freedom."

Last year, @FbdnStories denounced the use of Israeli spyware Pegasus against more than 180 journalists in 20 countries around the world. #BanCyberSurveillance

Pegasus was created by the Israeli company @NSOgroup. The Israeli government, which sponsors, licenses, regulates, and supports NSO, considers the company’s weapons-grade spyware “a crucial component of its foreign policy and national security.”

We join the High Commissioner in calling on governments to “immediately cease their own use of surveillance technologies in ways that violate human rights.” Ban Israeli and other cyber-surveillance weapons.
