Pakistan blocks Twitter, restricts internet after Khan’s arrest
The move comes as violence erupts in several cities after the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. *********Pakistani authorities have restricted access to Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms amid mounting violence in the country generated by the arrest of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Amnesty International said officials at Pakistan’s telecommunication authority told the UK-based rights group that regulators had blocked social media, and that internet service was suspended in Islamabad and other cities. “We call upon the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority and Interior Ministry to immediately reverse this ban.” Khan’s arrest sparked violent demonstrations by his angry supporters who clashed with the police in several major cities.
