Iranians are leaving the country just to access the internet

""The only voice is the voice of the Iranian regime now, because they have cut the internet. They have shot our voices and cut our tongues.""

""I only want to make a video call and go back [to Iran.] That is it.""

Iranians are traveling to Turkey to access the internet, as the Iranian government has blocked global internet access. Many individuals make the journey every few days to contact family members abroad. The government has limited communication options, leaving citizens isolated from information. Some Iranians resort to purchasing internet access through black market channels, but connections are often unreliable. The situation reflects a broader struggle against government censorship and the desire for communication and information access.
