The Right-2-Know Campaign says it's co-signed a letter with more than 20 other partners who are calling for online services to be restored in Zimbabwe. 

Social media platforms - like Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp - have also been disabled. 

Authorities allegedly cut services to crack down on widespread protests after government announced it would more than double fuel prices to address shortages and illegal trading.
