[#HKers calling on #Cellebrite to halt selling phone hacking technologies to #Belarus] #standwithbelarus
1/ Phone hacking tech is one of the weapons abused by authoritarian regimes to stamp out dissidents, in particular, crackdowns on leaderless movements in both Belarus and HK.

4/ It has deadly consequences in Belarus. As the only country in Europe that maintains death penalties, the #Belarus government has been arresting and torturing activists, journalists, bloggers and academics.

6/ To protect our #Belarusian fellows from crackdowns, #HKers call upon @Cellebrite_UFED and Israeli government to stop exporting cyber forensics technologies to #Belarus. #EU should impose export bans on all equipment that can be used for international repression in Belarus.

7/ In the face of tyranny, #HKers and people in #Belarus face the shared destiny of the oppressed, from #policebrutality, election frauds to the crackdowns on civil society. We hope the world can #standwithbelarus and other democracy pursuers in other places like #Thailand.

5. When digital authoritarianism reigns, repressive regimes do not only suppress with bullets and batons, but also surveillance and hacking. Solely in #Belarus, mobile hacking tools are used by long-time dictator #Lukashenko against freedom-seeking souls.
