'those challenging government not right' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'after we slyly condemned' is the wordplay.
'condemned' indicates anagramming the letters.
'after'+'we'+'slyly'='afterweslyly'
'afterweslyly' with letters rearranged gives 'LEFTY LAWYERS'.
