/ 1 min read
🕵️♂️ Amnesty International exposes pervasive digital surveillance in Serbia. A recent report reveals that Serbian authorities have employed invasive spyware and digital forensic tools to target independent journalists and civil society activists, undermining their rights to privacy and free expression. The analysis of journalist Slaviša Milanov’s phone indicated unauthorized access using Cellebrite technology and the installation of a new spyware, NoviSpy, while in police custody. The report highlights a broader pattern of state repression, including the misuse of surveillance technologies against peaceful protesters and activists, amid a deteriorating environment for civil liberties in Serbia. Amnesty calls for immediate action to halt these practices and ensure accountability for human rights violations linked to digital surveillance.
