The statement says that the organization categorically stands by the findings of the Pegasus Project. The statement reiterated that the data was irrefutably linked to potential targets of NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.

The organization says that the false rumours being pushed on social media were intended to distract from the widespread unlawful targeting of journalists, activists and others that the Pegasus Project had revealed.

It becomes pertinent to mention that the Amnesty International’s cyber security team collaborated in the inspection of the 50,000 telephone numbers leaked to the French media organization, Forbidden Stories. Around 300 telephone numbers spied upon were based in India.

The Wire covered the investigations on the Indian numbers and revealed that about 40 journalists, 3 major opposition leaders and hundreds other political activists and academics were spied upon using the Pegasus Spyware.

The new Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi had claimed today that Pegasus was a fake story and that Amnesty had denied the list circulating in the media.
