Today, the Pegasus Project was awarded one of the prestigious Reporters Without Borders’ 2021 Press Freedom Awards in the impact category. Last July, this collaborative investigation uncovered the global abuse of Pegasus spyware. What’s happened since then? Watch how people, leaders and prosecutors have taken up the scandal.
This video was produced with the support of the Justice for Journalists Foundation.
Justice for Journalists Foundation (JFJ) is a London-based non-governmental organisation. JFJ funds journalistic investigations into violent crimes against media workers and helps professional and citizen journalists to mitigate their risks. The foundation was established in August 2018 by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, founder of the Open Russia pro-democracy movement, an Amnesty International-recognised prisoner of conscience, and Putin’s most prominent critic, together with his former business partner, philanthropist, and member of the Free Russia Forum’s standing committee Leonid Nevzlin.
Deeply proud the #PegasusProject was awarded for its ongoing impact!
