Political victim of restrictive practice? (8)
I believe the answer is:
internee
This clue could be a double definition.
'political victim' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'restrictive practice?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for internee that I've seen before include "One kept prisoner" , "Inmate" , "Prisoner of war living in armed camp or prison" , "Suspect held" , "One imprisoned during wartime" .)
