If they get administrator access to your phone, there is not much you can do. But there are still other good practices you can adopt for escaping from mass surveillance.

Looks like https://archive.is/JQnig documents ways to detect this particular attack. So they try to cleanup traces but still leaves some traces for detecting the attack later.

We should write a statement condemning it. That will make our stand clear.

In the short term only Supreme Court can order a probe
For long term, we need to continue building our base and influence. We can use this opportunity to talk to people.
So we can talk about surveillance and why people should care and get involved in politics to have a chance of stopping it.
