Russia's ban on internet access is a severe violation of basic human rights. Censorship and suppression of free speech have no place in the digital age. Orders were issued by the Russian government to block social media and news sites that offered critical coverage (1/3)

It's disheartening to hear that Gaza's internet and electricity have been cut off. Access to these basic utilities is a fundamental human right, and it's crucial that they are restored immediately to ensure connectivity of the people in Gaza. #HumanRights #Gaza #Israel

We condemned the internet shutdown in the Kurdistan Province of Iran on Nov 2, 2023. Internet was shutdown due to protests related to the incidents of the death of young woman in police custody. Govt bans internet to suppress the voices of people.

Deeply concerned about the internet shutdown in Punjab amid the farmers' protest. Communication is a fundamental right, and such restrictions violate the principles of free expression and access to information. Urging authorities to reconsider. #InternetShutdown #FarmersProtest

The suspension of mobile internet services in Leh on April 5 is deeply concerning. Ladakh administration's imposition of Section 144 to quash public rallies is unjustified. Access to information is a fundamental right, not a privilege to be revoked at whim. #InternetShutdown
