Skyline International for Human Rights (SIHR) has officially launched its campaign, aiming to stop the commercial use of the spying software Pegasus, developed by Israeli company NSO Group. According to an investigation carried out by Citizen Lab and the French based organization Forbidden Stories, this technology has been used to facilitate violations and crimes against freedom of expression and human rights on an unprecedented scale. During its presentation at the event, Daniel Rivera, Skyline Director, mentioned that this technology was supposedly created to fight against terrorism. Still, the truth is that hundreds if not thousands of journalists, activists, heads of state, and other professionals and their families have been targeted by intelligence services around the MENA region using this technology. 1
