Human Rights Watchdog Urges Israel to Revoke Export License for Spyware Company

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – A prominent human rights organisation has called on the Israeli authorities to withdraw the export license for technology company NSO Group, which produces surveillance equipment allegedly used to violate human rights across the globe.

She noted that the best way to prevent this was to hinder its ability to export its technology.

According to the human rights watchdog, the Pegasus software has targeted activists, journalists, and lawmakers in countries like Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

On Thursday, Tel Aviv’s District Court will start hearing arguments in the case, which seeks to make Israel’s defence ministry restrict the NSO Group’s activities after its Pegasus spyware was used against journalists and activists across the planet.
