Um, but then also, [clears throat] d- during these shutdowns, um, it's really difficult to h- to demand accountability because the shutdowns make it difficult for you to, first of all, um, understand or know the scale and scope of what human rights violations are happening on the ground.

We've also seen governments that have deliberately shut down the internet to rig election outcome in their favor and, um, that is a threat to every democratic society.

And so we treat all shutdowns as a threat to human rights, and we continue to demand that authorities stop the practice, um, for good.

Um, I, I, I think there, there's a change in behavior.
