Internet shut down indefinitely in Pakistan

Islamabad : The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said on Wednesday that internet services across the country would remain suspended indefinitely. Geo News reported that the authority has confirmed that the decision to block mobile broadband services was taken on the instructions of the Ministry of Interior. Services were suspended on Tuesday due to protests at the Islamabad High Court complex following the arrest of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan in the Al-Qadir Trust case.

Besides this, major social media sites including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are also reportedly down with many users in Pakistan unable to access these platforms since Tuesday, Geo News reported. Videos of violent protests were widely shared on social media platforms following the unrest that erupted following the arrest of the former prime minister, following which mobile broadband services were blocked. A PTA spokesperson had said that the regulatory authority was also receiving reports of social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram being down. However, these reports could not be confirmed, he said.
