In the autumn of 2019, there were massive protests across various cities in Iran against the government. When the Iranian government felt the situation was getting out of control, they completely shut down the internet throughout the country without any prior notice.
This action by the government caused a huge wave of horror among iranians, especially those living abroad who were suddenly cut off from their friends and family. This piece is a personal reflection made in that particular week.
Later, it was revealed that the Iranian government killed around 1,500 people in that one week.
