The term "political exile" refers to individuals who are forced to leave their home country due to political reasons, such as persecution, harassment, or threats to their safety. Often, political exiles seek refuge elsewhere to escape oppressive regimes or hostile political environments. This status can limit their ability to participate actively in their homeland's political processes. Political exiles may advocate for change from abroad, raising awareness of human rights abuses and calling for international support. Their experiences highlight the broader implications of political repression and the struggle for democracy.
