  14. #SilencingDissent: The Crackdown on #PeacefulProtest in #Europe

    In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries.

    by Flore du Teilleul
    April 10, 2025

    "The right to peaceful protest is essential to our democracies, allowing people to come together with a unified voice to support or oppose key issues. It serves as a powerful mechanism for individuals to hold their governments to account and is often the last resort when prior messages go unheard. However, politicians often perceive this right as a threat, especially when force of numbers demonstrates support for an issue.

    "In our recently published Rule of Law report, Liberties’ members reported an increase in restrictions on the right to peaceful protest in all countries - from bans on individual protests to the disproportionate use of force by the police and legislative changes. A widespread trend emerged of restricted #ProPalestine protests and #EnvironmentalDefenders receiving particularly harsh penalties.

    Bans on Protests

    "Restrictions on various protest movements justified on public safety grounds were documented in many member states. In #Germany, the Berlin Assembly Authorities implemented a temporary blanket ban targeting pro-Palestine demonstrations. Initially, the ban targeted celebrations of the mass murder and pro-Hamas demonstrations but later extended to all pro-Palestinian protests. Similarly, in #Latvia, an unregistered #FreePalestine movement protest was banned after an assessment by the state security service that the event would, among other risks, harm the country’s international interests.

    "The #Estonian police banned a protest in support of Palestinians, which was later declared unlawful by the administrative court. In #Hungary, Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán publicly prejudiced support for Palestinians by linking it with #terrorism, equating solidarity with civilians victims to threats to the public order. As the fifteen attempts to organise protests were successively banned, the government and the Prime Minister re-asserted their power by deciding what can be demonstrated for, namely, topics in line with their political interests."

  15. "Cybercrime: International investigations by the OAG and #fedpol result in conviction for real-time phishing in the UK"
    ⬇️
    "The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAG) has been conducting criminal proceedings since 2022 in the matter of a large-scale #phishing series. Fake e-banking login pages had been used to defraud numerous Swiss bank customers, resulting in losses of around CHF 2.4 million. In this context, the OAG took over about thirty cases from the cantons."
    [...]
    ⬇️
    "Real-time phishing on a grand scale

    Between May 2022 and September 2022, unknown perpetrators created and used several fake login websites (phishing pages) for various Swiss banks, using what is known as a phishing kit. Bank customers who used Google Search to access their account ended up on the phishing pages posted as adverts and fell victim to the scam when they attempted to log into their supposed e-banking accounts. As a result, their e-banking access data were intercepted unbeknown to them, enabling the perpetrators to use the stolen access data to log into the victim's e-banking accounts and enable the two-factor authentication. The victims still believed that they were on the bank's real website and authenticated the login by entering the authentication code they received by text message on the phishing page. As a result, the perpetrators gained access to their authentication codes. This enabled them to successfully log into the victims' e-banking accounts and register an additional device with the bank to confirm two-factor authentication. The perpetrators were then able to log into the victims’ e-banking accounts without any further action by the victims and initiate payments without their knowledge or consent."
    [...]
    ⬇️
    "The intensive investigations conducted by the OAG and fedpol resulted in the identification and localisation of a British national who had developed and distributed the phishing kit. The OAG and fedpol's subsequent close cooperation with Europol, Eurojust and UK law enforcement authorities led to the arrest and prosecution in the UK of the developer and seller of the phishing kit."

    ...Schwächung der #Cybersicherheit. Es ist gar nicht möglich, die Nutzung dieser #böswillig geschaffenen #Schwachstelle einzuschränken. Während #Europol noch die Erlaubnis fordert, ist die #russischen und #chinesischen #Staatshackern vollkommen egal. Fazit: Die Aufregung um besagte Forderung könnte dümmer nicht sein. Die Unterstützer der #Chatkontrolle helfen effektiv allen #Feinden, jeglicher #Demokratie.
