Document, do not confront
Record dates, links, screenshots, public statements and official documents. Avoid direct confrontation with armed, coercive or hostile actors.
Non-violent pressure doctrine
The goal is to make coercion, external pressure and internal capture costly through lawful documentation, public traceability, institutional routing, professional review, distributed redacted copies and disciplined correction demands.
Use public URLs first
Send public links, not private files. Public URLs are easier to verify, safer to share and less vulnerable to poisoning accusations.
Make coercion expensive
Every threat, pressure attempt or refusal to disclose records should be logged publicly as a risk signal. Do not escalate emotionally; make the record stronger.
Distribute lawful copies
Share public/redacted PDFs, hashes and static mirrors through trusted channels. Never distribute protected evidence publicly.
Use institutions against impunity
Send the same public dossier to courts, professional bodies, press, UN/AU channels, unions, universities and diaspora networks so suppression in one venue does not end the process.
Protect vulnerable people first
Do not name witnesses, survivors, local contacts or exposed communities. Public action must never make the weakest person pay the price.
Refuse provocation
Keep protests and campaigns lawful and non-violent. Agents provocateurs and inflammatory calls should be documented and isolated.
Ask precise questions
Demand contracts, budgets, legal basis, safeguards, audits, timelines and remedies. Precise requests expose evasion better than slogans.
