Iran Protests Hit Two-Week Mark Amid Internet Blackout

Protests in Iran continued for a 14th day on Saturday. The demonstrations are spreading across the country. The Iranian government has admitted the protests are ongoing. This admission comes as authorities increase their crackdown. A major nationwide internet blackout also remains in effect. The disruption has largely cut Iran off from global online communication. The protests began following the death of Mahsa Amini. The 22-year-old woman died in police custody after being arrested for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code.
