Iran shuts down internet as protests continue over Jîna Amini’s death in custody

Iran's internet connectivity has fallen to near 0% from full accessibility in a matter of minutes on Tuesday, with partial connectivity issues since Friday cumulating into a "near-total disruption" by Wednesday. Activists and rights groups fear the blackout will be similar to the week-long disconnect in 2019, when security forces killed some 1,500 people during fuel price hike protests.
