Nicaragua | Journalist Arrested for Criticizing Rising Cost of Living
The National Police arrested Nicaraguan journalist Elsbeth D’Anda last month for criticizing the rising cost of living on his television program La Cobertura. The regime loyalists deployed 20 officers and detained D’Anda at his home, confiscating his equipment before taking him to the notorious El Chipote prison. Several press freedom organizations have condemned the arbitrary detention as an attack on free expression. This arrest is the latest addition to a series of repressive measures by the Sandinista regime, which has crushed independent media through shutdowns, exiles, intimidations, and persecutions.

Pakistan | Regulated VPNs Deepen Financial and Digital Repression
Pakistan’s military regime escalated Internet censorship by mandating that all Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) be registered with the state. It even requires users to submit personal details such as national identity card numbers and IP addresses. This crackdown erodes the privacy and freedoms VPNs offer, leaving citizens increasingly vulnerable to surveillance and control and stifling the flow of information. In a country where Internet disruptions and bans on platforms like X are commonplace, restricted VPN access could limit access to financial freedom tools like Bitcoin (which to some degree rely on access to on and off ramps like digital asset exchanges). The regime may further isolate Pakistanis from decentralized financial systems by tightening its grip on digital platforms and consolidating its control over information and financial activity.
