In Summary

There was an overwhelming level of public awareness regarding the June 25, 2025, protests, with 97% of respondents indicating they were aware of the demonstrations.

Social media was the dominant source of information, with 65% of respondents reporting that they relied on social media platforms for updates and developments, reflecting the growing influence of digital networks, especially among younger demographics, who primarily marshal crowds from social platforms.

During the protests, the government barred media houses from airing the protests live, which may be one of the reasons why television was the primary source of information for 26%, and radio was only a secondary source for 3%.
