Countries of Concern
While many of these countries are known for their lack of freedom of expression, and politicization of the justice system, several routinely violate basic due process rights, and commit ongoing serious human rights violations. Viewing these countries through the lens of Hacking Team’s claimed sales practices, we highlight a few areas of concern:
Azerbaijan: We identified an RCS endpoint in Azerbaijan (Azertelekom: 109.235.193.83) that was active between June and November 2013. Azerbaijan hit international headlines in 2013 when the results of the October presidential elections were accidentally released before voting began.23 In the run up to the elections, state media released a compromising video of influential Azerbaijani investigative reporter Khadija Ismayilova recorded from inside her home.24 While not used in Ismayilova’s case, RCS can enable the same type of monitoring by covertly activating a computer’s webcam, as well as stealing private videos and pictures from a computer.
Kazakhstan: We identified an RCS endpoint in Kazakhstan(JSC Kazakhtelecom Slyzhebnyi: 89.218.88.xxx). Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported numerous cases of Kazakh government critics facing arrest and detention in 2013. HRW reports that despite the government’s adoption of an anti-torture statute, “torture remains common in places of detention,” and “perpetrators of torture often go unpunished.”25
Uzbekistan: We found three RCS endpoints in Uzbekistan (Sarkor Telecom: 81.95.226.134, 81.95.224.10, and Sharq Telekom: 217.29.123.184). HRW’s 2013 report on Uzbekistan made mention of the government’s systematic use of torture with impunity, including beatings and rapes in detention. The report also mentioned lack of respect for due process, including the dissolution of the independent bar association, and forced disbarment of lawyers who take on controversial cases.26
Saudi Arabia: We identified two RCS endpoints in Saudi Arabia (Etihad Etisalat: 37.242.13.10 and Al-Khomasia Shipping and Maintenance Co Ltd:27 62.149.88.20). HRW has reported “systematic violations of due process and fair trial rights” against detainees in Saudi Arabia, including the use of torture, denial of access to lawyers, inability for defendants to introduce evidence or confront their accusers at trial, and the lack of a penal code or precedent-driven jurisprudence.28
Sudan: We identified one RCS endpoint in Sudan (VisionValley: 41.78.109.91), in a range of eight addresses called “Mesbar” (an Arabic word meaning a device used to “probe”). HRW reported that Sudanese authorities used excessive violence against protesters resulting in numerous deaths. HRW also raised concern over a growing number of politically motivated arrests and detentions and noted authorities’ suspension of newspapers, and harassment of anti-government journalists.29
