Protestors Guide to Organize Demonstrations
Amidst Repression (Handbook)

Due to the fact that there are countries starting to face their governments/regimes, a
"Riot Guide" is needed as a how‐to guide to demonstrations. So this guide exists to rectify that situation.
Tips:
Teargas (see How to deal with Tear gas chapter)
∗ Check the wind and move against the wind
∗ Spread the information to other demonstrators on the streets about where to go
∗ Never go out without little masks. Cover your mouth and nose.
∗ Synthetic fibers are better to wear (Ex. Nylon, Acrylic, Polyester). The teargas will not stay on clothing made from these.
∗ Fabric doused with vinegar will help neutralize teargas.
∗ If you have some, rinse your eyes with physiological saline or water.

Teams
(If Possible Organize Different Leaders)
BE PEACEFUL! DO NOT ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE IF POSSIBLE! WHEN POSSIBLE, DO NOT ANSWER VIOLEN
CE WITH VIOLENCE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE! TEAMS SHOULD, ACT LIKE PROS!
Different teams, different objectives
Every team needs a person in charge (if possible get Walkie Talkies, referred as WT).
All people that are subject to teams should be wearing cloth with colors, which corresponds with the team.
Important teams:
Runners (White)
Gives information from HQ to other teams and back!
(Need perfect knowing of the neighborhood, with mobile capabilities => bike or so.
If no bike is available, the fastest runner will have to do.)
May also serve as a support team if any other team is in need of backup.
(Used for secret message that can not be send by WT)

Medical Team (Red)
Is in charge of helping people that needs help
Be sure to act nice! THIS TEAM NEEDS RESPECT! In case of an emergency,
you want as many people to help you as possible! It is very important that someone can
take a leader position!
People in this team should carry scissors, Band-Aids, gauze, antiseptic,
painkillers, Physiological Serum, a lot of water, protein bars and a lot of other stuff.
Please check the FirstAidGuide.
Red teams need to very well marked so it is obvious to the people with the
guns what they're doing. Examples: Big patch with red cross/red crescent, reflectors
and red clothing.
Documenting Team (Green)
Very important ‐ People taking pictures, filming and documenting
Using cell phones to create WiFi networks! Upload material as it happens!

Don't necessarily need to be in the riots. Can stay back to organize data
from wireless communications, and other places where data about what is going on can
be accessed. The more that gets out of the riots, the better, as this will draw media
attention.
Protect yourself to upload data: http://pastebin.com/ksw2Xzxd | We do NOT propagate violence.
Use Anonymous contacts to support on editing and spreading the
information; Anonops.ru will help you ‐ leave the editing to people outside the riots, just
keep recording, we'll do the rest.
Real footage and reports are important; cause the media might be not on
side or report in a correct and expected behavior. In some cases your government may
have blacked out all media from reporting. When this happens, ordinary citizens become
reporters, so capturing video/images is very important to get your struggle into the
world and gain international support.
Blur faces of people on pictures! Prevents oppression.
Green Team should be updating Google Maps if possible, letting rioters
know in real time where police are moving. +1(useless in presence of high‐tech cops,
with operator cars and videos monitoring (like EU and US zone).

Front Row Team (Black)
These people usually confronts authorities (Be non violent if possible)
The front row demonstrators are what the news and other media will
focus on, they should be well prepared to relay their message effectively. (Signs,
Banners, Megaphones, T‐shirts, Effigy's, etc)
Protect yourself: wear cushions, helmets, ski goggles or even a gasmasks.
Observation Team (Gray)
Equipped with Walkie‐Talkies, Smartphones, etc.
Posting on Rooftop or someplace high, giving an overview on the streets.
Being stationed up high allows you to see where there is police presence, how many the
demonstrators can expect, which direction they're going, etc.
As much as you may want to show active support with t‐shirts, banners
(or possibly throwing some rocks from the rooftop you are looking from), you should
refrain from doing so. You do not want any attention that can be avoided. Doing so
should allow you to move throughout the city as needed, generally unmolested by the
authorities.
Could be using cell phones to create WiFi networks too! Helping to upload
material of what happens (as they observe, they're also in open space, what helps for
wireless networks!
BASE Team:
Try to set HQs with link to the outside and relay for Crowd teams,
(WTStation)
Could coordinate movement through maps, following teams and
preventing them from falling in traps
A fast Internet connection is great here, as this team should both provide
info to The Running team and fellow Anon's/NewsGroups far and wide.
Groups: Get yourself (and the group(s) you're working with) cheap
mobiles with spare sims (I've known cops nick the sim cards out of phones while
searching before) so you can stay in constant touch if you get split up. You can also
'tweet' 'fb' etc info as and when it happens.
Make up group names! Just something short you all remember. This gets
useful in unmanageable situations. If you lose the others of your group, you don't need
to call their names (which could be written down by police).
Groups should not be bigger than 6 people. Small groups mean more
mobility. Big groups are slow, especially in deciding what to do.
Talk about what you want to do before you go to a demonstration. Respect
it if someone doesn't want to take risks. Think about getting together with people who
want to do the same thing to avoid too much discussion.
Get to know the area before just turning up! It's no good turning up then
the cops steam in and you've got nowhere to retreat to. Better to know where you are
and where you’re going so you retreat around a corner and turn up again behind them
from another.
Spread maps of the area with important targets. See the 5‐finger‐tactic and
out‐of‐control tactic http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fünf‐Finger‐Taktik (German)


Five Fingers Form a Fist
Concept
The five‐finger tactic is used for getting around police lines or blockades.
Protesters allocate on different groups. Every group has one person holding a sing with
a number or color. If you don't want to take a risk, you can disclaim that person and just
wear the color (e.g. wristband, scarf, hat). You start the demonstration together, but if
you see the police the different groups split and stretch. Then you flow through the
police line and bale after it.

Target
A close protest can be controlled and steered quite easy by the police. This
concept tries to make the analysis of a protest and its flow difficult for the police.
Black Blocking:(Authorities will be incited to stronger action so this tactic should not be
used in the presence of at risk protest group members.)
The Black Bloc does not need to be affiliated with any group or ideology, it is simply a
tactic, and it WORKS. This is both a defense and offensive tactic.
Similar clothing
Makes it harder to identify individuals
Creates an effect to make mob see larger that it really is
Protects identity ('Guy Fawkes mask popularized by "V for Vendetta")
Masks
Protects identity (If the regime stays in power and your face is found to
be protesting, you can expect jail, beating or even possibly death, keep your identity
hidden when in public!)
Protects against tear gas inhalation/irritation (add water or vinegar to
help with skin irritations caused by tear gas exposure; inject some physiological serum
in the eyes to wash them)


Tactics
Whether advancing or retreating pull debris (trash cans, dumpsters,
burning tires/cars, etc.) behind your path. This will slow down APCs, Police, allowing
you to maintain mobility.
DONT GET BOXED IN ‐ if you hear some one saying your going to get
boxed in (trapped) repeat the message down the line to other protestors.
If the police use violence or tries to arrest people, build chains by linking
arms! This prevents arresting and shows power. Turn your backs on police spraying gas
and build chains to prevent them doing things you can't see.
Listen to where the observation/basement teams tell you to go and go to
exactly where they tell you. And when they tell you to get out, leave the area. They both
work to prevent you from entering situations/area's that could land you trapped and
subsequently in jail or worse!
Go out with a few friends and watch each others backs at all times. Try
not to get separated Use caution when dealing with and speaking to people whom you
do not know. Others claiming to support your cause may be infiltrators.
Make sure no one else other than the communications operator of the
team is communicating through the radio channel you are utilizing. This could cause a
breach of security if undesirables (Police/Other Authorities) are spying on your
conversation.
