Where political repression is sanctioned and organised by the state, it may constitute State Terrorism or Genocide . Systemic and violent political repression is a typical feature of Dictatorship s, Totalitarian states and similar regimes. In such regimes, acts of political repression may be carried out by Secret Police forces, army, Paramilitary groups or Death Squad s. If political repression is not carried out with the approval of the state, a section of government may still be responsible. An example is the FBI COINTELPRO operations in the United States between 1956 and 1971. In some states, such as the former Soviet Union , "repression" can be an official term and official Legal Policy Of Repression with respect to internal political opponents of the state. SEE ALSO
