"Euro MPs have 'strongly' criticised telecoms firm Nokia Siemens Networks for providing 'surveillance technology' to the Iranian authorities.
In a resolution adopted on Wednesday, the MEPs said the hardware was instrumental in the 'persecution and arrests of Iranian dissidents'."
And also a comment from Amnesty International:
Technology, particularly Internet and telecommunications technology, provides ‘the good guys’ with new tools to help them do their job: documenting human rights abuses, telling as many people as possible about it, mobilising people to try to stop them. But it also provides ‘the bad guys’ with new tools to do their job too – bugging people’s conversations, snooping on their emails, tracking their location.
Is technology really good for human rights?
