Importantly, I know ex-Muslim women who have been critical of Islamists and who do not necessarily want to be seen on a demonstration criticising Islamism. Guess why that might be? Whistleblowers of all stripes might want to protect themselves from their employers, for all sorts of reasons that I do not need to spell out. There are examples these days of people being livestreamed by hostile political opponents and doxed for going on demonstrations, so you might well want to hide yourself. One of the briefings that we got made the point that it might just be that you are cold, in conditions such as today’s, and wrap a scarf around your face. Who is to decide between what is nefarious and dubious? The main thing is that the police surely have the powers at the moment to deal with people who they think are problematic.
