After that, requests will be made to <\/span><b>initiate specific procedures to the competent domestic and international institutions.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conference will focus on a serious case of human rights violations, illegal use of spyware and misuse of forensic tools for unauthorised access to mobile devices. The illegal activities related to the \u201cNoviSpy\u201d spyware and forensic tools of Israeli company Cellebrite, which were used by the Serbian Ministry of Interior (MUP) and the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA) for unauthorised surveillance of journalists, activists and members of civil society, will be discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report by Amnesty International clearly indicates the widespread use of these technologies for spying and illegal access to private data of citizens.
