Michael Asiedu is a doctoral researcher at the Institute of Political Science (IPW-HSG). Michael’s current research seeks to understand under which conditions courts in authoritarian contexts in Africa rule that an internet shutdown directive by an incumbent was illegal. His research further examines the plaintiffs (civil societies, individuals) who file these cases in courts.
