At least 18 prisoners were executed in Iran over just two days — May 31 and June 1 — with one victim 'hanged in public with utmost brutality,' according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

One human rights group tracking the killings says the real number is 'almost certainly' higher than the 784 they've documented this year because the regime 'frequently carries out executions in secret.' Five more political prisoners in Sheiban Prison face imminent execution right now.

🗓️ Three months ago today #Iran shut off access to the global internet. While connectivity has now largely returned, metrics indicate that users still face heavy filtering, similar to the interim period between the January protests and the start of the war.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

ℹ️ #Iran's internet connectivity has now been in a state of restoration for 24 hours. Service remains heavily filtered, with new restrictions on messaging and app stores compared to pre-January. Calls for a free and open internet transcend political divisions and should be heard.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

🫶 Welcome back #Iran! Metrics show a further rise in connectivity as mobile networks and other segments are reconnected to the global internet:

• Filternet remains in place but can be worked around
• WhatsApp now restricted, requiring circumvention
• Some users still offline

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

⚠️ Internet connectivity remains cut in #Iran with the digital blackout now having entered its 88th day, surpassing 2088 hours of isolation from the outside world. Metrics confirm the shutdown currently remains in effect despite the president's order yesterday to restore access.

⌛️ It's now the 87th consecutive day of #Iran's internet blackout which has been in place for over 2064 hours. The measure has eliminated any transparency around executions, adding to the inhumane conditions and daily uncertainty faced by jailed critics, dissidents and tourists.

⬇️ #Iran's internet blackout is now in its 86th day as the population remains in digital darkness after 2040 hours.

While access to the global internet remains largely cut during peace talks, select whitelisted users project a synthetic view of Iranian life to the outside world.

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

🗓️ Network data show #Iran's internet blackout is entering its 13th week after surpassing 2016 hours of digital isolation from the outside world.

Daily life for most Iranians is now shaped by the loss of opportunities and access to information others can reach in seconds.
