Federal meant and their own internal human rights and freedom and living in it was a popular press freedom of free send it was actually. Restrictions as busy a tool. As an especially print media or that media number of

Little place up in the country and at the same time or like that they all like that get a look thats really or like to use. Or lying to express ourselves is any government which is actually committing the crimes right now that requires. No. Religion. When its all including the National Coordinator of times and human
rights Defenders Coalition thank you apart from the arresting and intimidating individual jhon that some countries simply restrict the flow of information governments across africa are clamping down on the internet more and more mauritania done ethiopia and to bomb or shut down web traffic thats yet only this january zimbabwe wanted a total internet shut down when violent protests over a dramatic fuel price increase resulted in a deadly crackdown the Global Digital rights act say fruit now 21 reports shutdowns across africa in 2018 team a get india.
