News from Al-Madinah: On the continued protests in Iran for the fourth week in a row, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced on Friday that Washington is working on solutions to help the protesters to communicate with abroad.
During his meeting with Iranian activists, in Washington, he said today that the American administration is working on a license that allows the provision of technology that would allow the Iranians to communicate with each other and with the outside world, and to circumvent the systematic closure of the Internet. without going into further depth.
Blinken also reaffirmed his nation’s support for the rallies against the Iranian government while citing the sanctions put in place by Washington on those in charge of repressing the demonstrations.
The Washington Foreign Minister also reminded that the United States imposed sanctions on the so -called “religious police” in Iran, which caused the killing of the young woman, Muhsa Amini, on September 16.
It is noteworthy that the Iranian government has intermittently cut off Internet access from mobile phones since the beginning of the widespread protests on September 16 in response to the death of the Kurdish young woman Muhsa Amini 3 days after her arrest at the hands of members of the so-called religious police.
The worldwide Internet freedom control organisation Net Blix has reported that Iran has experienced significant Internet connectivity issues since Wednesday morning, which coincides with the call for large-scale national demonstrations.
The death of Amini has since ignited the fire of anger over several issues, including the restrictions imposed on personal freedoms and strict rules related to women’s clothes, as well as the living and economic crisis that the Iranians suffer from, not to mention the strict rules imposed by the system of government and its political structure in general.
