Congresswoman Ansari says Iranian regime internet shutdown preventing public from reaching loved ones during protests

Arizona Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari says at a news conference on protests in Iran and the regime's reaction that the average American may not know the regime has disabled internet access for its own citizens, meaning people cannot reach loved ones, plan and organize, or reach unbiased information, literally being kept in the dark by their own government and possibly permanently, with long-standing bipartisan efforts to ensure Internet access in Iran unable to be left on the back burner as this access could save lives, noting this is personal as she is the proud daughter of Iranian immigrants now privileged to serve as the first Iranian American Democrat elected to Congress representing Phoenix, Glendale, and Guadalupe.
