Regional shutdown
Mobile Internet Services
Republic of Ingushetia
On March 16, 2019, authorities in the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia, implemented a targeted shutdown of mobile internet services. This disruption coincided with public mobilization efforts against the controversial land-swap agreement with Chechenia. According to a lawsuit filed by activist Murad Khazbiyev, the shutdown was a deliberate administrative tactic to prevent citizens from exercising their right to free expression during peaceful public events.
