flag A UK High Court has ordered Saudi Arabia to pay over £3 million in damages to Ghanem al-Masarir, a London-based former Saudi citizen and human rights activist, after finding the kingdom responsible for hacking his phone with Pegasus spyware and orchestrating a physical attack on him in 2018. flag The court ruled Saudi authorities or their agents likely carried out the surveillance and assault, motivated by al-Masarir’s criticism of the regime, causing severe psychological harm. flag The judgment rejected Saudi Arabia’s claim of state immunity, and the kingdom’s appeal was dismissed. flag The case underscores concerns over state-sponsored surveillance and extraterritorial targeting of dissidents.
