A retired journalist faced seven days of digital confinement after his online access was reportedly blocked due to his outspoken views on governance and public issues. The incident has raised serious concerns over digital censorship and the shrinking space for free expression.

Media groups and colleagues condemned the act as a threat to press freedom and journalistic independence, emphasizing the need to safeguard both physical and digital rights of journalists.

The journalist’s calm resilience and steadfast belief in truth stand as a symbol of courage in an era where voices of dissent are often silenced.
