Politically motivated killings

Politically motivated killings are acts of violence where individuals are targeted and murdered because of their political beliefs, affiliations, or roles. These killings are intended to influence or eliminate opposition, intimidate communities, or suppress dissent. They can be carried out by governments, extremist groups, or individuals acting in support of a political agenda. Such acts undermine justice and stability, often leading to fear and unrest within societies. Recognizing these killings helps understand the importance of human rights and the need for secure, fair political systems that protect individuals from violence motivated by political motives.
