Help Iranians Fight Their Dictatorship by Providing Pied Piper's New Internet

You might have heard about it in the news (https://ift.tt/370cUEZ). The Iranian Islamic regime has killed about 1500 people in the last month while the world was in absolute silence. Why? Because the first thing the regime did was to shutdown the internet access. They shutdown the Internet not only to hide what they're doing to the people form the world but also to prevent people from joining the protests by knowing what's going on and prevent organizing protests using the Social networks, etc. However, they kept the Interanet online. So the services hosted inside Iran were available to people. Now my question is, what are the available solutions to provide people a secure and reliable communication channel (probably through the same Interanet)? Something like Pied Piper's New Internet? I was thinking it should meet the following requirements: - Should be easy to use for non-tech users - It shouldn't be centralized (like Git, https://ift.tt/2cESxqG or https://zeronet.io/) - Should be secure (everything encrypted p2p) - As long as it provides highest level of availability the latency doesn't matter (e.g. A newsletter or website that can be updated by getting a file via Bluetooth) - Should work on mobile devices 5. (Nice to have) should provide some other network physical channels (Wifi Adhoc or whatever, satelite, p2p via phone/modem, etc.) There might be other stuff that I'm missing like making sure that the bridges (or/and servers provided by users) are not going to reveal the users' identity.
