Iranian President’s Son and Adviser Calls for Internet Access to Be Restored

“The blockade only fuels anti-government sentiments, increasing the distance between the authorities and the people. Discontent is growing at the expense of those who were not initially dissatisfied. This is more dangerous than intensifying protests if the Internet is restored,” he said on Telegram.

The message was reprinted by the official IRNA news agency. Let us note that the president’s son still has access to the Internet.

Protests in Iran began on December 28 and were initially of an economic nature. However, they quickly became political. By imposing an information blockade, the ayatollah’s regime began a brutal suppression of discontent. Norway-based Iran Human Rights says the death toll from the crackdown could reach 25,000.
