Serbian activists in their sights: police espionage uncovered!
Shocking revelations about surveillance of activists and journalists in Serbia!
Amnesty International's alarming reports shine a bright light on the dark machinations of the Serbian authorities! Activists and journalists in Serbia had their cellphones hacked using sophisticated Israeli spy software, according to an explosive investigation. These shocking allegations raise questions about privacy and freedom of expression in the country.
On Monday, Amnesty revealed that Serbian police and intelligence services are conducting a secret surveillance campaign against unpleasant voices using spy tools, including the infamous NoviSpy software. Those affected have often never been arrested or charged, making the situation even more worrying.
The dark side of surveillance
How did these shocking revelations come about? Independent journalist Slavisa Milanov was detained by police during a routine traffic stop in February. After his questioning, he discovered that his data and WiFi settings were disabled - a clear sign of a possible hacker attack! Milanov contacted Amnesty International's security laboratory, which found alarming digital traces.
The analysis revealed that police had penetrated his Android device using Cellebrite's Universal Forensic Extraction Device (UFED) technology. But that wasn't all: the previously unknown spy software NoviSpy was also discovered on his cell phone, which allows attackers to steal confidential information and even control the device's microphone and camera! A nightmare for anyone who wants to protect their privacy.
The Serbian security agency BIA firmly rejected the allegations and claimed that its methods are used by other police authorities around the world. But Amnesty International counters: The use of such technologies without a legal basis is simply illegal!
The fear of digital surveillance
The reports of spy software use are not only shocking, they are also alarming! Activists and journalists report a climate of fear in which every communication is perceived as a potential threat. “We live in a digital prison,” says one concerned activist. “The illusion of freedom is deceptive because in reality we have no freedom.”
The Amnesty investigation shows that the Serbian authorities not only monitor communications, but also deliberately try to silence critical voices. Technology once intended to fight crime is now being used as a tool of oppression.
The question remains: How far will the Serbian government go to silence its critics? The international community must respond to these worrying developments and ensure that human rights are respected in Serbia.
