“By crowd-sourcing information using our new mobile phone application and website or via free SMS messages, sukey.org were able to help people work together to make this a safe and good-natured demonstration.

Acting as a newsroom, the team were able to take your anonymised reports from the ground sent in via social media, filter out misinformation, and send it back to you on the streets to keep you moving and keep you safe.

Messages from the police were also passed back to the ground. This allowed them to reassure protesters who decided to splinter off from the original destination and show solidarity with the people of Egypt outside the Egyptian embassy that they were happy with the behaviour of the crowd and had no intention to kettle people.

By increasing transparency we hope we have increased safety and accountability.”
