Morocco, accused of having used Pegasus spy software, has decided to sue Amnesty and Forbidden Stories for defamation before the Paris Criminal Court, its lawyer announced Thursday in a statement sent to AFP.
"The kingdom of Morocco and its ambassador in France, Chakib Benmoussa, have mandated Me Olivier Baratelli to issue, as of today, two direct citations in defamation" against these two associations at the origin of the revelations on the customers of this designed software by Israeli company NSO, the statement continued.
