5:13Now PlayingMoroccan authorities have arrested journalist and human rights activist Omar Radi on what press freedom advocates call "retaliatory charges" for his investigative work that is critical of the Moroccan government. Radi says that Moroccan authorities hacked his phone using Pegasus spyware from the Israeli company NSO Group. "It works using a network injection, so people need to be near you to make themselves pass as a relay antenna," Radi says, describing the hard-to-trace technology that the government has used to harass and persecute him. "They can use your microphone, your keyboard, your screen, and get any information that is stored in your phone."
