WorldUK Supreme Court rejects Bahrain bid to halt activists’ spyware lawsuit

The UK Supreme Court, by a narrow 3-2 majority, rejected Bahrain’s claim of state immunity in a lawsuit brought by two Bahraini dissidents. It ruled that foreign states can be sued in British courts over surveillance affecting people and computers in the UK, even when the hacking was directed from abroad, allowing the case to proceed to trial.
