Workshop: Digital security for activists during protests

In protests, we very often witness arrests and repressive practices by authorities, which constitute violations of the freedom of protesters. Such practices are not limited to arrests but also include violation of the right to privacy. The authorities very often confiscate the protestors’ phones and devices used to document human rights violations; They have gone so far as to view personal images and correspondence. In this workshop, we will look at the practices and steps protesters should take to protect themselves as well as their privacy and their right to protest.
