Social media platform 'X' shutdown continues for seventh day in Pakistan
Human rights activists have demanded a full restoration of internet services and access to social media. Washington has also urged Pakistan to lift restrictions on X.
The outage was first observed over the weekend when the political party of Pakistan’s imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan announced protests against what it says were rigged Feb. 8 parliamentary elections.
In the vote, candidates backed by Khan, who was barred from running, won most seats but short of a simple majority needed to form a government.
