Iraq – Continued Internet outage coinciding with the protests in Iraq
Baghdad-Iraq 16/7/2018
Most of the Iraqi cities have witnessed a general weakness in the Internet service, in addition to blocking all social networking sites for citizens in conjunction with the protests in central and southern Iraq. A number of activists considered that the government resorted to resolving the crisis by igniting another crisis in order to occupy the citizens from the real crises experienced by the people, describing the Internet outage as a “crime” against the Iraqi people’s right to exercise their freedom.
