Proscription
Proscription is the public identification and official condemnation of enemies of the state. The term originates from the Roman Civil Wars of the First Century BC and is used informally for similar phenomena in other times and places, also when the perpetrators call it by other terms. Proscription implies the elimination en masse of political rivals or personal enemies, and frequently occurs during violent revolutions, most especially with the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution or Stalin's purges of the 1930s. Proscription was involved in the political violence in Argentina against Peronists after Perón fled into exile. Proscription is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a "decree of condemnation to death or banishment" and is a heavily politically charged word, frequently used to refer to state-approved murder or persecution.
