Serbia has been illegally spying on political opponents and journalists, Amnesty says

Amnesty International says Serbia’s secret service and police have been spying on journalists and opposition activists by installing a spyware on their mobile phones. The report published Monday is backed by testimonies of those who claim their phones have been hacked in recent months. Amnesty says the spy software was used to unlock phones to capture covert screenshots and copy contact lists, which were then uploaded to a government-controlled server. Serbia’s police did not respond to a request for comment Monday.
