PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Electronic Surveillance: Mobile Phones (29 June 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential for NSO's Pegasus software being used to target foreign journalists and campaigners; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

There have been allegations that this software has been used in a way that is not in line with UK Human Rights Standards. We continue to champion human rights and media freedom around the world. Given these allegations are subject to ongoing investigations, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further.
