The Internet has become a means of livelihood for people especially during the pandemic where the majority of citizens are still working and studying from home. Internet is used to verify information as well.

Internet shutdown cannot be used as a tool to suppress dissent. This is a violation of the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as the right to life. The impact of such shutdowns on citizens and the economy is huge.

Shutting down critical communications infrastructure is a blatant violation of our rights. It should be noted that all these acts are unilateral decisions with no accountability.
