DW reports allegations that digital access in Iran is being restricted to pressure people over dissent. The broadcaster spoke with several Iranians who described losing access to communications and financial services.
According to DW's account of those interviews, the restrictions involved SIM cards, banking access and online accounts.
The interviewees said the blocks remained until they deleted critical material or pledged to end their activism. These allegations come from a single report; the supplied excerpt offers no independent corroboration.
