Specific instances of censorship, arrests, and harassment of journalists have been well-documented, painting a concerning image of the operating environment. Independent news outlets have faced pressures, and journalists have reported instances of intimidation, leading to a chilling effect on investigative reporting. The government's approach often involves leveraging legal frameworks and, increasingly, digital tools to manage the flow of information. This can include the use of digital surveillance technologies and the implementation of social media regulations that can be broadly interpreted, thereby limiting critical discourse online. In some instances, internet blackouts or disruptions have also been observed during sensitive periods, further hindering the dissemination of information and the work of the press.
