[Chapter-delegates] Meet the 2021 IGF Youth Ambassadors

Thu Oct 7 16:55:26 PDT 2021

 What horrible messages coming from  Mr. Akash Bhardwaj.

As a former Ambassador, like my colleague Abdias, I am also concerned and
hope that the ISOC team will be able to assist him as they were so quick to
withdraw his self-identification.

We must also not forget the attitudes of the far-right government towards
the Kashmir region, which leaves this part of the country constantly without
Internet access
<https://www.accessnow.org/keepiton-global-rights-groups-urgently-demand-restoration-of-4g-internet-access-in-jammu-and-kashmir/>,
especially in pandemic times, where the Internet is a lifeline
<https://www.internetsociety.org/impact-report/2020/>, like our own
organization announces.

Best,
Luã
