Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83003, member: 160"] Iran pulled the plug on the web to hide their brutal crackdown on citizens. Residents have stayed offline for ninety-six hours while currency values tanked and demonstrations swept Tehran. Monitoring groups confirm that security forces killed dozens of protesters and bystanders as unrest spread nationwide. Rebecca White from a security lab argued that authorities are masking grave violations intentionally. She highlighted that the regime weaponized shutdowns previously during past uprisings to slaughter hundreds in the dark. This researcher demanded immediate restoration of access because digital rights matter even during emergencies. Sharareh Abdolhoseinzadeh reported that businesses face massive daily losses ranging from millions to billions of Rial. Total outages apparently cost the equivalent of nearly half the annual oil revenue for the nation. Shutting down connectivity destroys the economy while politicians try to crush dissent. Watchdogs reported that the state uses lethal force against largely unarmed crowds. Troops are deploying military-grade gear and metal pellets to suppress the population. Security agents allegedly killed at least twenty-seven people, children among them, and injured hundreds more while trying to stop the movement. Chief Justice Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei promised zero leniency for anyone challenging the system. He labeled demonstrators as enemies of the republic despite the heavy human toll. The leadership seems determined to intensify its hardline stance regardless of the costs involved. [/QUOTE]
