BANGKOK, Feb 14 (Thomson Reuters Foundation): Activists in Thailand are suing the government for using spyware technology to monitor dissidents, the first such case in the country that they hope will help raise awareness and better protect citizens who are subject to increasing surveillance.
Legal non-profit iLaw told the Thomson Reuters Foundation it is preparing a lawsuit against the Thai government for its alleged use of Israeli firm NSO Group's Pegasus spyware to hack into the mobile phones of at least 30 activists and lawyers in 2020-21.
