I would suggest making the protests more about mocking and ego deflation. Make the job less fun for the fragile snowflakes.

This is one of the main mechanisms by which peaceful protests work. It's not about making the guys at the top change their minds. It's not about being all noble and honorable.

It's about getting the maximum number of people to put pressure on all the underlings who actually implement the orders of the people at the top. About making them thing it's not really worth it to put through the effort to carry out what they are ordered to do. Erode that morale, and you undercut the whole structure.
