Irídia

Irídia is a human rights organization based in Barcelona. It advocates for the defense of human rights and is currently newsworthy due to its involvement in the investigation of the 'Pegasus' spyware case. This case involves the alleged espionage of over 65 Catalan independence leaders and activists by the Spanish National Intelligence Center (CNI) using the Pegasus software developed by the Israeli company NSO Group. Irídia has recently denounced what it perceives as judicial obstruction and delays in the investigation of these espionage allegations. Specifically, they criticize the lack of responsiveness from Barcelona's investigating courts to requests for information and international cooperation, including European Arrest Warrants (euroórdenes), which they believe are essential for clarifying the circumstances surrounding the use of Pegasus. Irídia's actions highlight the ongoing controversy and the challenges in achieving transparency and accountability in cases involving national security and surveillance technologies.
