Kaczyński turned Poland into a country where opposition is observed and repressed. – Tomasz Siemoniak, coordinator of peculiar services, announced that 578 people were watched by Pegasus during the regulation of PiS. A announcement was sent to 31 of them to appear as witnesses to the prosecutor's office. According to Adam Bodnar, the minister of justice, there is simply a suspicion in these cases that there has been a violation of law and illegal surveillance.
PiS politicians, liable for surveillance, claim that everything was legal due to the fact that the court agreed to all actions. But the fact is different. Unregistered actions were besides taken in the case of Pegasus. The Law and Justice government had a stand-alone device that did not require communication with the office in Israel. This "console" was to be liquidated before the change of power. “Without any mode, Pegasus was utilized against about 500 people,” my secret service informant claims.
Pegasus allows you to take control of a smartphone/tablet device utilizing a SIM card. His acquisition preceded changes in the law, to which fewer people noticed. The PiS expanded the definition of operational control, allowing hacking into devices. It besides passed in 2016 a provision that can be utilized to convict people of evidence obtained illegally. Jarosław Kaczyński together with his safety specialists – Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik – prepared a trial with the opposition, utilizing techniques to combat terrorism.
Of the 31 innocent people treated They presented their invitations to the prosecutor's office with Pegasus: lawyer Roman Giertych, Euro MP Krzysztof Brejza, writer Tomasz Schwejgiert and erstwhile president of Sopot, and now MP Jacek Karnowski. The shock was to find 2 soldiers on Pegasus' watch list who reported mobbing and harassment in the army and were deprived of their privacy as punishment, and they attempted to find “hooks” utilizing weapons to fight terrorism.
The surveillance scale remains hidden. Pegasus was officially utilized in 2017 against 6 people, in 2018 against 100, in 2019 against 140, in 2020 in 161, in 2021 against 162, and in 2022 against 9 people. In the second year, Poland lost its licence due to the fact that the Israeli company NSO found that the PiS authorities usage this weapon against the opposition alternatively than criminals.
However, this did not end the usage of weapons to break telephone safety by the Law and Justice authorities. In 2022 Predator was introduced, a strategy operating like Pegasus, but requiring more cooperation from the victim. In the Pegasus attack, the victims were attacked in 2 ways. A cheaper method was to effort to get an under surveillance individual to click on the link they sent her. The certainty of entering the victim's telephone was obtained by buying a gap in the software that cost up to $40,000 and was adequate for 1 attack. Predator operated mainly by clicking on links and links connected to the photos. Officers called him “Pegasus for morons”, claiming that Kaczyński and his associates utilized it most frequently for surveillance.
It is besides worth reminding that in the beginning of 2022 it was reported that the safety of the PiS besides utilized a Chinese version of spyware. According to unofficial information, the service called him "Feng". In the spring of 2022, the Law and Justice Government was to be blackmailed by the release in the media of a list of people under surveillance with this weapon if Chinese companies were not allowed to invest in infrastructure projects in Poland. The case didn't come out, but what we hear about Chinese companies, which are strangely successful in specified projects.
Required accounts
Kaczyński and his safety apparatus must be liable for their authoritarian operating system. Even institutions specified as the Office of the Ombudsman for the Rights of the kid utilized this purpose, gathering delicate information. The methods utilized were widely known: bullying, dismissals, and even attacking the families and friends of opponents. People were besides tried to corrupt after being beaten and intimidated.
Unfortunately, the current power is hard to act towards the settlement of predecessors. It lacks both staff and determination to uncover the full degree of the violations. In addition, any people who previously worked for the Law and Justice Service received a circumstantial "protective umbrella" from the fresh administration.
The case is clear and brutal. If an effective settlement of illegal surveillance is not carried out and the guilty are not punished, then the Law and Justice can return to power in an even more dangerous and ruthless form.
