💨 Abstract

In London, the Court of Appeal ruled that Bahrain cannot claim state immunity to block a lawsuit brought by two dissidents who accuse the Bahraini government of hacking their laptops with spyware. The men, who live in Britain, allege that Bahrain infected their computers with FinSpy around 2011, allowing agents to monitor their work with political prisoners. The men are seeking damages for psychiatric harm.
