Internet Shutdowns in Jammu & Kashmir have led to more than just censorship. Learn just one story of Amir and the consequences of an #InternetShutdown #ArbitraryDetention

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

#India: News of the Indian Parliament’s revocation of Kashmir’s autonomous status in 2019 was suppressed through #InternetShutdown. Only 4 of Kashmir’s 55 daily newspapers were able to report this change in the region’s status. #Journalists #HumanRightsDefenders @PIBSrinagar

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

Journalists line up in droves only to be able to work under strict monitoring and #censorship. Internet shutdowns by the government can gravely inhibit #FreedomOfExpression.

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

#India: #Journalists in Kashmir were forced to rely solely on the government for information in order to report to the #news due to #InternetShutdown. As a result, countless stories were lost during the #shutdown. @PIBSrinagar @diprjk

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

#India: An internet shutdown was imposed in Jammu &Kashmir on August 5th, 2019, to block communications and information concerning the change in autonomous status for the region. #HumanRightsDefenders #InternetShutdown @PIBSrinagar @diprjk

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

#India: Internet shutdowns have been used as a tool to silence dissent from human rights defenders including #lawyers and #journalists. Cutting access to the internet challenges the right to a #fairtrial and #pressfreedom. #HumanRightsDefenders

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

#India: The Indian Government shutdown the internet in Kashmir for over 200 days for “security purposes”. This impacted human rights defenders like journalists who couldn’t report on stories without access to digital tools. #HumanRightsDefenders #InternetShutdown #Kashmir

[ABA Justice Defenders Program @JusticeDefend]

Authorities in #India have shut down the internet more times than any other country in the world. There is a staggering cost for internet shutdowns on human rights and its defenders, as this series of videos will show. #HumanRightsDefenders #InternetShutdown

President Biden is preparing for an upcoming @WhiteHouse summit with the 10-nation @ASEAN, currently led by #Cambodia.

Humanitarian parole applications for Afghans are being worked on but we need your help covering the fee!

It’s $575/person!! A fee waiver takes too long to process when time is running out.

I was in the same position here as the good prof- and experiences with professors like @abfrancois were why I stuck with/fell in love with the law. Dear hiring committees- representation of first-gen in faculty is how we become inclusive. Also hire me 😂😂😂😂😂(cackles to self)

I don’t have advice for 1Ls. All I offer is this: I was a first generation law student. On my first day of law school, I’d never read a case, never talked to a lawyer in real life, and could not have distinguished a tort from a tart. It was bewildering at first and then it was ok
