Iran's Internet Blackout Continues to Grip the Nation: A 55-Day Countdown In a move that has sparked widespread concern and outrage, the Iranian government has maintained a draconian internet blackout for over eight weeks, leaving nearly 92 million people without access to the global digital landscape. The shutdown, which began on June 20, 2023, has crippled the country's economy, hindered essential services, and severely restricted the flow of information. With no clear end in sight, the blackout has raised questions about the government's intentions and the human rights implications of such a drastic measure. As the situation continues to unfold, the international community is watching with growing unease, calling for the Iranian government to restore internet access to its citizens.
For fifty-five days and counting, the Islamic Republic of Iran has kept ninety-two million people offline.
