THIRTY-FIFTH DAY OF THE INTERNET SHUTDOWN IN IRAN; THE DIGITAL BLACKOUT ENTERS ITS FIFTH WEEK

Based on received information, the nationwide internet shutdown in Iran has now entered its thirty-fifth consecutive day, and after 816 hours, connectivity to the global network has dropped to just one percent of normal levels. Reports indicate that this digital blackout has now entered its fifth consecutive week, leaving a large portion of Iran’s population cut off from the outside world, deprived of access to critical information, and unable to make their voices heard.

While access to the global internet has effectively been cut off, only parts of the domestic network and a limited number of local services remain available. Observers say this situation further enables censorship, monopolization of narratives, and the concealment of the scale of repression and conflict.
