The term "political intimidation" refers to actions meant to coerce or threaten individuals or groups in relation to their political beliefs or activities. This can manifest through harassment, violence, or social pressure aimed at suppressing dissent or disagreement. Political intimidation undermines democratic values by discouraging free expression and participation in the political process. It can lead to a climate of fear, dissuading citizens from engaging in advocacy or voting, thereby jeopardizing the integrity of the democratic system.
