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

Benyamin Naghdi, a young Iranian athlete, is at imminent risk of execution.
He is a kickboxing and Muay Thai fighter, a national-level competitor, with international certifications in bodybuilding, refereeing, and coaching.
He has had no access to a lawyer and no fair legal process. His family has been denied contact.
Another innocent life is being taken in silence. Say his name. Don’t let him be executed in the dark.

اگر رژیم این پسر ۱۹ ساله رو بکشه من یکی یک توییت هم براش نمیزنم. الان که زندهست صداش باشیم و اسمش رو جهانی کنیم. اگر صداش رو به جامعه جهانی برسونیم رژیم نمیتونه اعدامش کنه. براش توییت انگلیسی بزنیم.
این هم هشتگ انگلیسی:

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.
#DigitalBlackoutIran
Ali Fahim, 26, and Mohammad Amin Biglari, 19, have been taken from the general ward of prison to an unknown location for execution.
Two young men at the very beginning of their lives, with dreams they haven’t had the chance to live.
Mohammad Amin was living with his grandmother, already carrying the weight of a difficult life. They are facing execution for a crime they did not commit.
If you’re reading this, please don’t stay silent. Say their names. Don’t let them be executed in silence, in the dark, cut off from the world by an internet blackout.

Amirhossein Hatami is 18.
Arrested during protests.
Held in solitary for 40 days.
No contact with his family.
No access to an independent lawyer.
Now he’s been sentenced to death.
This is not justice. This is a system killing its youth.
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.

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.

Bahareh Golchin, a 17-year-old from Mashhad, was arrested on February 14 while handing out flyers for the 40-day memorial of those killed.
More than 40 days have passed, and her family still has no information about her whereabouts or condition. They are deeply worried.
She is legally still a minor a child who has now been separated from her family for over 40 days, with no clarity about her physical or mental state.
Be the voice of detained children.

For years, the Baha’i community in Iran has faced systematic persecution by the Islamic Republic. From being banned from universities, having their properties confiscated, and imprisonment, to torture and executions.
Now, Payvand Naeimi, a young Baha’i prisoner in Kerman, is at serious risk of execution after being subjected to severe physical and psychological torture to force a confession.
Be his voice.
When you hear “execution,” you might assume a serious crime was committed even if you’re against the death penalty.
But no, Mohammadreza Abdollahpour, 28, a healthcare worker, was arrested on January 8 while helping an injured person in the street. And for that, he has been sentenced to death by the Islamic Republic. Where in the world is saving a life punishable by execution?
Speak up. Be his voice.
Ehsan Hosseinipour, 19, is facing imminent execution in Iran.
He was arrested on Jan 8, denied access to a lawyer, and forced into a confession under severe physical and psychological torture. His death sentence was issued based solely on that coerced confession.
Don’t let them disappear in silence. Be their voice.
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.
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.
#DigitalBlackoutIran
The Islamic Republic has executed three Iranian protesters less than two months after they were arrested in the streets on January 8th.
Mehdi Ghasemi, Saleh Mohammadi, and Saeed Davoudi were charged with “national security” offenses and “enmity against God”, accusations long used to justify executions.
The lives of prisoners are at risk.
For 17 days, 90 million people in Iran have been cut off from the free internet in the middle of a war. Families can’t reach each other and people can’t access reliable information.
We’ve seen this pattern before: when the regime shuts down the internet, something terrible follows.
If you truly care about Iranian lives, speak about the internet blackout in Iran. Their safety depends on it.

Prison conditions in Tehran’s Great Prison are rapidly deteriorating.
Reports say nearly 30 prisoners are packed into 10sq. meter cells, food rations have been cut in half, and many are sick and severely weakened.
Amid war and escalating tensions, the lives of political prisoners are at serious risk.
They must be protected. The Islamic Republic is responsible for their safety.

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
