NYT: Mexican Gov't Surveilled International Investigators Probing Ayotzinapa Case
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The New York Times is reporting that the Mexican government used an
Israeli-made spy software to surveil a team of international
investigators who had been dispatched to Mexico to investigate the
high-profile disappearance of 43 students at the Ayotzinapa teachers'
college in Guerrero in 2014. The international investigators included
some of Latin America's most prominent lawyers, who had been granted a
form of diplomatic immunity to carry out their investigation. The Times
has also reported the Mexican government also used the spying software
called Pegasus to spy on Mexican human rights activists and journalists.
