Netblocks reports severe internet disruption in Zahedan

NetBlocks, which monitors restrictions on internet access around the world, reported severe disruptions to the Zahedan internet network.

Every Friday after Friday prayers, Zahedan people take to the streets to protest the injustice and crimes of the Islamic Republic regime. Zahedan has seen the most deaths, rapes, repression, and arrests, but its people are still bravely on the streets to achieve victory.

Baloch freedom fighters held placards at the Friday prayer ceremony today, April 11, in the Zahedan mosque, demanding the release of Sunni clerics and an end to Vahid Beheshti's hunger strike. They also announced that the arrest of Maulana "Murad Zahi" is unjust and that this arrest must end.

However, the Islamic Republic government, fearing the Baloch freedom-seeking uprising that takes place every week during Friday prayers, has deliberately disrupted Zahedan's internet system so that people cannot broadcast the protests and clashes with security forces via the internet.

NetBlocks, which monitors internet access restrictions around the world, also confirmed the severe disruption in Zahedan. The company wrote: “Network data indicates significant disruption to internet connectivity in Zahedan. This event continues a pattern of network outages that have targeted popular protests during Friday prayers.”
