They instructed protestors not to engage in any form of physical confrontation, threats, or intimidation, regardless of provocation.

It also cautioned against carrying weapons or dangerous objects, such as sticks, stones, flammable substances, or any items that could be used to harm someone.

They were not to obstruct emergency services. The advisory also highlighted the need to exercise restraint when recording photos or videos and sharing claims or information on social media.
The CJP urged protestors not to disseminate unverified claims, misleading videos, rumors, or messages designed to incite panic or hostility. They were asked to record incidents responsibly, documenting relevant events without interfering with the police, obstructing others, or putting themselves in danger. The CJP also advised protestors not to publish unverified allegations against individuals.
