PAKISTAN ISRAEL FRIENDSHIP

Spyware Allegations Rock Pakistan Government ​Sensational claims have emerged that Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif government is allegedly using Israeli-made spyware to monitor and spy on the Baloch people. This news, reportedly revealed by Amnesty International, has sparked a major controversy concerning digital privacy and civil liberties. ​In response, the Pakistani government has rubbished the claims, denying that it is using Israeli spyware within the country. The allegations, however, come amidst long-standing concerns raised by Amnesty International regarding Pakistan’s vast surveillance and censorship system, which they say is already powered by technology from global firms and has been used to silence dissent and target human rights defenders in Balochistan. The human rights group has consistently flagged the precarious situation of Baloch activists, journalists, and students who have faced enforced disappearances and undue restrictions on their freedom of movement and expression. This new layer of alleged secret digital surveillance adds to the grave human rights concerns in the region.
