The study highlights the importance of activists' framing strategies, the mobilization of local supporters, and the challenges activists face in maintaining opposition movements. Additionally, the article presents a quantitative analysis of protest events, revealing factors that influence the likelihood and scale of protests. [Extracted from the article]
