Iran suffers 'major disruption' of internet amid anti-hijab protests

The Islamic Republic of Iran suffered a “major disruption” in internet service on Wednesday amid anti-hijab and anti-government protests that erupted after the death of a 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman, who the Iranian morality police had detained, an advocacy group said.

NetBlocks, an advocacy group, said that Iran's internet traffic had dropped to around 25% compared to the peak, even during a working day, in which students were in their schools across the country.

NetBlocks said, “The incident is likely to further limit the free flow of information amid protests.” NetBlocks referred to recent protests that began on Wednesday. Tehran witnessed a massive deployment of riot police and plainclothes officers across the city. Residents reported disruptions affecting their mobile internet services.

Despite the disruption, a demonstration took place in Tehran by some 30 women who had removed their mandatory Hijabs. They chanted, “Death to the dictator!”

Protests erupted across Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini. She was arrested on September 13 for allegedly wearing a loose hijab. Iranian morality police forcefully took her inside a van. Witnesses claimed that they beat her while taking her to the van. They took Amini to the detention centre to teach her about Hijab. However, she fell into a coma. On September 16, the doctor pronounced her dead.

Amini’s family said that her body showed bruises and other signs of beating after she was detained for violating the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code that requires women to cover their hair completely. Amini’s family said that they beat her at the detention centre. However, Iran’s government said that Amini was not mistreated at the detention centre.

An Oslo-based human rights group, Iran Human Rights, said on Wednesday that at least 201 people have been killed in protests. Iran's Education Minister Yousof Nouri also said that school-age children have been arrested during the protests.
