Keeping the Internet on during Benin s Presidential Elections

Keeping the Internet on during Benin’s Presidential Elections With protests intensifying and social media interruptions reported in the weeks leading up to Benin’s presidential elections on 11 April 2021, many Internet and civil rights organizations were growing nervous about the potential for another Internet shutdown. Internet access was cut for almost 24 hours during Benin’s legislative elections in 2019 and there has been a worrying global trend in election-related Internet shutdowns. In 2020, Access Now’s #KeepItOn coalition documented 155 shutdowns in 29 countries, including 10 in Africa. And according to Internet Society’s data insight tool, Pulse, there have been 98 Internet shutdowns in the past 12 months.

60 years of humanity in action

28 May 2021, 01:01 UTC Since it was founded in 1961, Amnesty International has been empowering people like you to take action for a better world. This is a snapshot of what you have made possible.   “Open your newspaper - any day of the week - and you will find a report from somewhere in the world of someone being imprisoned, tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are unacceptable to his government. The newspaper reader feels a sickening sense of impotence. Yet if these feelings of disgust all over the world could be united into common action, something effective could be done.”
