Well Twitter has actually been blocked for the past 01
month, right after
the general election. There's been a lot of uproar about it, but it's
uncertain when they will unblock it. Meanwhile, at least WMF should issue a
statement condemning the blockage of Commons.

While a good stop-gap measure, VPNs can be
expensive enough that it’s not
really a permanent solution. The ultimate solution is to get Commons
unblocked, if that’s possible. Of course, getting it unblocked might prove
impossible.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I am writing to you as a concerned volunteer from Pakistan regarding a
critical issue that has been persisting for several years now. Despite
multiple attempts to communicate this matter to members of the WMF's
communication team, there has been a disappointing lack of response or
acknowledgment.
For the past several years, Commons has been blocked in Pakistan. While
Wikipedia was briefly blocked last year, the swift response from both
Pakistani and international news media led to its unblocking. However, the
blockade of Commons, being a less prominent site in comparison, has gone
largely unnoticed.
Furthermore, several journalists I have spoken to have also expressed
frustration over their attempts to reach out to WMF staff regarding this
issue, only to receive no response.
I urge the WMF to prioritize this matter and take immediate action to
address the ongoing blockage of Commons in Pakistan.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
