Iran’s internet briefly restored amid widespread protest crackdown
Limited internet access briefly returned in Iran before dropping again, a monitor said Sunday, 10 days into a communications blackout that rights groups said aimed to mask a protest crackdown that killed thousands. Demonstrations sparked in late December by anger over economic hardship exploded into protests widely seen as the biggest challenge to the Iranian leadership in years.
On the eleventh day of an internet shutdown, access is now “gradually” returning to normal, according to a senior Iranian official.
As internet access returns to Iran, the scale of the unprecedented protester massacre
After an eight-day internet blackout, leaked videos and eyewitness accounts reveal mass killings of protesters across Iran, with thousands feared dead, missing or detained in what activists describe as the deadliest crackdown in the country’s modern history
According to reports, the Iranian regime has begun to loosen the Internet blockade imposed for a week and a half.
After several weeks of violent protests, the Iranian government is trying to show a return to normal with the reopening of schools, the Tehran bazaar and partial access to the Internet. But the human balance remains heavy and uncertain, while the demonstrators, hard hit, feel now abandoned.
