It’s been 1,111 hours since access to the internet was cut off for the Iranian people.

Online businesses have collapsed. Families are cut off. People are left in the dark, anxious and disconnected from the world in 2026.

Denying millions of Iranians access isn’t just about control, it’s an insult to those trying to live with dignity. Internet access is not a privilege. It’s a basic right

While so many young people are dancing and celebrating at Coachella right now, 19-year-old Saghar Gholami is waiting for her execution.

Her crime? Taking part in protests.

How can human rights organizations claim to defend people while turning a blind eye to this? A world where justice depends on where you are born is indefensible. Be Saghar’s voice.

To President @realDonaldTrump,

Don’t do their job for them in one night. For 47 years, the Islamic Republic has tried, and failed, to destroy Iran’s civilization.

Tonight, millions are living in #DigitalBlackoutInIran, cut off from the world, not even knowing if our families are alive.

Don’t take Iran back to the Stone Age. Target the Stone Age mindset, the officials who are hanging innocent protesters in the 21st century.

From “Help is on the way” to “we’re making a deal” to “regime change” to “we never wanted regime change” to “we did regime change” to “they can’t have nuclear weapons” to “this was all about opening the Strait that was open a few weeks ago” to “we should nuke the whole country.”

@LauraLoomer Your mental health is in serious danger.
Please see a doctor and beg for treatment. What you’re asking for is something only chained lunatics would want.
Please admit yourself to a psychiatric hospital and just show them this one tweet — they’ll know what to do with you.

778 hours without internet access in Iran.

This is not normal. Not even close.

Cutting people off from the world is more than a violation of basic human rights it’s a form of direct psychological harm.

I received this message from Iran today:

“Nabaut for God’s sake, do something about the internet. After a month I was finally able to connect with a lot of difficulties and it cost me so much. Please, do something for the internet connection of Iranians.”

People in Iran have been cut off from the world for nearly a month, living in silence, fear, and complete isolation.

And today, the government announced that anyone who connects to the internet is considered a criminal and will be punished.

This is not just censorship. This is collective punishment.

2. A Tehran resident told her “security forces started giving out free food next to checkpoints they've set up…they are deliberately trying to put civilians in harm's way because these are checkpoints that Israel has been heavily bombing.” https://t.co/NQyCQul5jO

Imagine you're an only child who left your country behind. Imagine your parents are old, fragile and alone. Imagine you built a small life abroad, while your whole family stayed back home.

Now imagine there is war in your country and the government shuts down the internet.
No calls.
No messages.
No "I'm safe."
Just silence.

For 633 hours, Iranians abroad have been cut off from their families. 633 hours of not knowing if the people you love are alive. This is not just an internet blackout. This is emotional torture.
Iranians need access to the internet.

Beyond concerning!

Taking such an action would negatively affect millions of Iranians and cause severe humanitarian impacts.

That no longer becomes actions targeted at the regime, but very much collective punishment of a population.

[Nabauti @Nabauti88]

Saleh Mohammadi, a young wrestler full of hope, was executed just one week after his 19th birthday. More young lives are now at risk of imminent execution. Say their names. Repeat their names.

Melika Azizi, 18, from Rasht, is in danger. They are not statistics. They are Iran's future. Don't let them disappear in silence.

⚠️ Update: Three full weeks have passed since #Iran's internet blackout came into effect, with users forced onto the National Information Network.

At hour 504, few circumvention tools work as authorities crack down on satellite and VPN users outside the state-approved whitelist.

[Nabauti @Nabauti88]

Iran entered the new year with its people cut off from the world for over 500 hours without internet. No connection, no access to information and no voice. Access to information is a basic human right not a privilege.

This kidnapping threat must be taken seriously. I received the same photos and the same threats before agents sent by the regime were arrested outside my home.

@Vahid is one of the most important Iranian voices on Telegram and X. He publishes videos sent by ordinary people inside Iran, videos that expose the Islamic Republic’s brutal reality: massacres, torture, prisons, and nationwide protests. Many international media outlets have relied on his reporting.

Now he is receiving serious threats.

He has been warned that he could be kidnapped just like Ruhollah Zam. When the Islamic Republic uses that name, everyone knows what it means: abduction, torture, and execution.

I know these threats are not empty.

Before armed agents sent by the regime were arrested outside my home in New York by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I received hundreds of messages saying the same thing: “We will put you in a sack like Ruhollah Zam, take you back to Iran, and kill you.”

Those threats were real. The regime had already sent killers to American soil.

That is why I will always be grateful to the FBI agents who saved my life.

Today I hope U.S. authorities take the threats against Vahid just as seriously. In recent days, several Iranian journalists and political activists have received similar warnings.

The Islamic Republic has a long history of hunting its critics around the world. Ignoring these threats would be a dangerous mistake.

In the past few hours, this is the only message I’ve received from Iran. The sender wrote:

“Our connection to the outside world has been completely cut off. Everyone has been warned that anyone who connects to the open internet will be arrested. When the internet is cut, people start losing hope because we have no idea what’s happening outside.
Please be our voice and tell the world that we’ve been taken hostage by them.”

Right now the Islamic Republic has imposed one of the most severe internet shutdowns on 90 million people in Iran. Their lives are at risk.
If you truly care about the people of Iran, amplify their call. Be their voice, not someone speaking in their place

#DigitalBlackOutIran

[Nabauti @Nabauti88]

Who decided Abbas Araghchi speaks for Iranians?When did Iranians ask him to represent them?

Iranians don’t need anyone to speak for them. The Islamic Republic must restore internet access so people inside Iran can speak for themselves. Their lives are at risk under this internet blackout.

Iranian Women’s Soccer Players Withdraw Asylum Request !

Would anyone flee a dictatorship… then suddenly go back? I know their hostage diplomacy playbook very well.

The Iranian media now announced that Mona Hamoudi, Zahra Sarbali, and Zahra Meshkinkar, two players and a staff member of Iran’s women’s national football team, have withdrawn their asylum request in Australia and are heading back to Iran.

Right. Because women usually flee a dictatorship, they remove their for ed hijab and then suddenly decide to go back.

Let’s be clear,, it’s likely means their families are under threat, maybe detained. That is how the Islamic Republic operates.

Many of us Iranians know this playbook well. They used it on me. They imprisoned my brother Ali, for two years to try to silence me, believing that by holding my family hostage they could break my voice.

What stopped them was not their conscience. What helped was international attention and public pressure.

Look at the photos above. When Iranian women step outside the control of the Islamic Republic, even briefly, the first thing they do is remove the compulsory hijab. Freedom begins with the right to choose.

The Islamic Republic understands this. That is why it punishes women athletes, artists, and anyone who dares to live freely.

These women may be forced to return, but the world should understand why.
