Laws were passed that defined those who should be arrested as counterrevolutionaries, and committees of surveillance were set up to identify suspects and issue arrest warrants. Later laws suspended the rights of suspects to both legal assistance and public trials and mandated execution of all those who were found guilty.

Please do not romanticise such a horrendous period. If you hate McCarthyism, then you should absolutely despise this one.

Being labeled as the enemy during a revolution often means prison / torture / death, even if you're innocent !
