	Political repression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Political repression is the oppression or persecution of an individual or group for political reasons, particularly for the purpose of restricting or preventing their ability to take part in the political life of society.
		Political repression may be represented by discriminatory policies, surveillance abuse, police misconduct including police brutality, and violent action such as the murder or forced disappearance of political activists and dissidents.
		Where political repression is sanctioned and organised by the state, it may constitute state terrorism.

	Extrajudicial punishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Such killing typically happens quickly, with skilled secret security forces on a covert basis, performed in such a way as to avoid massive public outcry and international criticism that would reflect badly on the state.
		Extrajudicial punishment is a typical feature of totalitarian and other politically repressive regimes using death squads for this purpose, but even self-proclaimed democracies have been known to use extrajudicial punishment under certain cirumstances.
		In times of war, societal collapse, or in the absence of an established system of criminal justice, there may be an increased incidence of extrajudicial punishment.

	Political violence in Colombia: myth and reality
		Most killings of ''undesirables'' in the cities appear to be carried out by police agents, often from the F-2 intelligence branch, many of whom are contracted by local traders seeking to protect their economic interests.
		However, both the military and some sections of the political elite strongly opposed a political solution to the conflict and their position was strengthened by continued guerrilla activities and cease-fire violations by both sides.
		Many of the recent killings are a result of conflicts between the faction of the EPL which continued in armed opposition and the sector which demobilized and formed a new political movement, Esperanza, Paz y Libertad.

		Political scientists are still writing this eventhough we now have numerous examples of governments that kill millions of their own citizens, enslave the rest, and abolish traditional culture (it took only about a year for the Khmer Rouge to completely uproot and extinguish Buddhism, which had been the heart and soul of Cambodian culture).
