In Syria Uprising, Even the Dead Are Helping Out

August 3, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

From The Guardian:

Protesters say they have been taking the sim cards of those shot dead so that they can talk to each other and media without being tracked […] All phone numbers are registered to the person when they buy it and several of those who have been detained say they have been tracked by their phone number for talking to al-Jazeera or other media. “There’s ever more sim cards available right now, unfortunately,” says one activist in Damascus

Fascinating..
