Question 12321 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Jocelyn Dessigny draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the voluntary and massive cutoff of internet access imposed by the Iranian regime in order to isolate its population and conceal an ongoing repression. Over the past few hours, several independent organizations have confirmed a drop of more than 90% in internet traffic in Iran, a direct consequence of a decision by the authorities aimed at depriving population from any access to information and to prevent the dissemination of testimonies to the outside world. This method, now systematic, constitutes a tool for political control and concealment of serious violations of fundamental rights. This situation directly affects many French people and members of the Iranian community established in France, today unable to contact their loved ones, in a context of extreme tension and increased repression. Faced with these facts, he asks what concrete actions France intends to take to firmly condemn the use of a digital blackout as an instrument of repression, demand the immediate restoration of communications and defend the right to information of civilian populations, without ambiguity or double standards, particularly within European and international bodies. He also wishes find out if the Government intends to support targeted measures against those responsible for these obvious attacks on fundamental freedoms.
