Morocco's Surveillance Network Targets Journalists and Activists with Pegasus Spyware

Amnesty International reports that Morocco's Direction Générale de la Surveillance du Territoire (DGST) conducted extensive targeted surveillance using Pegasus spyware and other tactics against 103 phone numbers—65 civil society members including 22 journalists—via infected phones, hidden microphones, and physical monitoring; leaked documents and whistleblower accounts link the same infrastructure to attacks on Spanish ministers and call for an independent investigation into unlawful surveillance.
