El Salvador MUSLIM president under investigation by the FBI! Israel sold pegus software to spy US officials!

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has proved his dislike of journalists in the past, and a report from this year showed his government used Pegasus spyware to infect reporters’ phones.

A number of El Salvador-based journalists are suing the notorious makers of the prolific Pegasus spyware suite in U.S. court, alleging the company sold the repressive Bukele regime spyware used to hack their phones.

In the lawsuit filed on Wednesday in federal court in San Jose, California, attorneys representing the journalists of the Central American outlet El Faro said the Isreal-based NSO Group sold the government of El Salvador Pegasus software which was used to hack at least 22 people associated with their digital newspaper between the middle of 2020 and November 2021. The reporters claimed that this allowed the government to listen in and record the journalists’ activities, even when they were communicating with U.S. Embassy officials.

Dual U.S. and French citizen, and noted Central American journalist, Roman Gressier is just one of the names on the lawsuit. He told The New Yorker that he was especially concerned by the attacks as he is a member of the LGBTQ community. Gressier noted that pro-government activists could use those personal details to endanger his and others’ lives since these groups often experience threats and acts of violence in the country, according to Human Rights Watch. Gressier said he had been forced to leave El Salvador, fearing for his safety.
