Iran president ends Internet blackout, orders access to be restored

Earlier this year, the Iranian government cut off access to the internet as citizens launched large scale anti-government protests. For the past five months, officials in Tehran have carried out executions of individuals allegedly involved in planning, facilitating and supporting the demonstrations.
