How to Protest Intelligently: Egyptian Activists' Blueprint


Prior to their planned protests, Egyptian activists circulated a guide "How to Protest Intelligently". Excerpts have been translated into English and published by The Atlantic.

While the plan itself contains specifics about what protesters might do, these excerpts show how one might equip oneself for clashes with riot police.

Amongst the "necessary clothing and accessories" shown I particularly like the rose, there to help make friends with the police and army.

As you'll read, the creators of the pamphlet explicitly asked that the pamphlet not be distributed on Twitter or Facebook, only through email or other contacts because of monitoring of the former avenues by Government agencies.
