Internet shutdowns in Afghanistan are severely impacting the protection of human rights, according to Human Rights Watch. These disruptions hinder access to information, restrict freedom of expression, and limit the ability of citizens to communicate and seek justice. The ongoing internet outages pose a significant challenge to civil liberties and democratic participation in Afghanistan. Human rights advocates warn that such restrictions exacerbate vulnerabilities and undermine efforts to promote accountability and human rights in the region.
