Iran president’s son urges authorities to restore internet after protest blackout
AI Summary
The son of Iran's president, Yousef Pezeshkian, is urging authorities to lift internet restrictions imposed during recent protests. He argues that the blackout is counterproductive, delaying the inevitable circulation of videos documenting the violent crackdown and increasing public dissatisfaction. The internet shutdown occurred during a period when authorities violently suppressed protests, resulting in thousands of deaths and detentions. Despite the blackout, images of deceased protesters, including children, are surfacing online. Pezeshkian believes that restoring internet access is less risky than maintaining the restrictions and that security forces should adapt to ensuring security with internet access.
