    Wearing masks to hide their identities in case of capture? Am I missing something or is there a reason why their captors wouldn’t just remove their masks?

    Edit : I’m dumb. It’s to protect EACH OTHER’s identities in case one of them is captured. My bad

      Wearing masks so they can’t identify any of the other activists if they’re tortured by the authorities - they don’t know what each other look like, and presumably don’t share their real names with each other.
