“Red-tagging is the term used when a person belonging to a civil society organization is criticized for the work they're doing as being related to the persons who commit criminal acts in the country.”
What Vera Files found
The International Peace Observers Network defined red-baiting in a 2011 journal article as: “[T]he act of labelling, branding, naming and accusing individuals and/ or organizations of being left-leaning, subversives, communists or terrorists (used as) a strategy… by State agents, particularly law enforcement agencies and the military, against those perceived to be ‘threats’ or ‘enemies of the State’.”
