My point is that countries designate groups of people as "terrorists" all the time for political reasons. Here's another example: "Venezuela: UN experts condemn use of counter-terrorism laws to convict trade unionists and labour leaders"

But we know you understand this.
The word is notoriously ill-defined, so much in fact that most newspapers of record will not use it [1]
