Organisation: The Front of Liberation of the People (FOL)
Classification: Code Red
Procedure: FOL is to be eliminated at all expedience. The Counterterrorism Initiative is to mark FOL as its priority target and allocate necessary funds and personnel towards counteracting FOL operations. Additional funds may be allotted by Parliamentary order if deemed necessary. Cooperation with external agencies nationally and internationally is permitted at all times, though CI remains the national chief authority on any issue pertaining to FOL.
Persons suspected of FOL membership may be investigated by any means necessary within parameters permitted by the International Human Rights Treatise of 20██. Methods of investigation may include, but are not limited to, shadowing, interrogation, and searches on private property with a valid warrant. Persons arrested under suspicion of operating within FOL are to be granted their legal rights as according to sections ██-██ of the IHRT.
[Addendum: ██/██/20██]
An authorized raid is to be conducted immediately upon the discovery of any operational base of FOL. The base must be secured, all FOL operatives arrested, and all items discovered within must be seized and catalogued. Items with potential destructive power are to be directed to the appropriate threat-disposal units. Items of interest, designated at the Deputy General's discretion, must be delivered to research facilities for further inspection.
In the case that FOL operatives attempt to seize any broadcasting centres, emergency protocol is to be activated and any broadcast from the captured location is to be shut down. Recordings of FOL's broadcast are to be made and stored, reviewable upon request by anyone with clearance level 2, or clearance level 1 with the approval and accompaniment of a level 2 authority.
[Addendum: ██/██/20██] The public display of any FOL-related artwork is prohibited. The exhibition should be immediately dismantled by law enforcement and the artwork confiscated. If the exhibition is hosted at a museum or other municipal building, employees may be subject to a brief interrogation.
Description: The United Nations has designated FOL as an international terrorist threat, with its main activity concentrated in Europe and minor activity in nations such the United States of America, China, the Republic of Korea, and Saudi Arabia. Even smaller units of FOL are suspected of operating in as many as ██ countries worldwide. FOL is considered highly dangerous, and currently poses the most critical threat to domestic security in European nations since the eradication of Al Qaeda ██ years ago.
FOL demonstrates active hostility towards established government. Their most notable operations include the assassinations of political leaders (both attempted and successful), the bombings of government buildings, and the thievery and leakage of sensitive government information. Refer to Document 001-B for a full report of noteworthy incidents involving FOL.
On several occasions, art installations attributed to FOL have appeared in public spaces (such as parks and malls) across Europe, usually bearing politically subversive messages. Most pieces appear to be surrealist or satirical in nature, and are clearly designed to provoke a reaction from viewers. Refer to Document 001-C for a full report of art installations attributed to FOL.
Most incidents organised by FOL are identifiable by the appearance of the phrase "Freedom or law?" in its vicinity.
The structure of authority within FOL is unknown. The current theory of CI is that FOL operates under a decentralised authority, in which there are no named "leaders." Alternative to a rigid power structure, FOL operatives appear to work individually or in small groups of acquaintances or close friends, carrying out minor projects. Larger projects requiring more cohesion seem to be planned and executed by groups of more well-connected individuals, who make up the foundation of FOL. These are most likely the "senior members" of FOL, who generally appear to be obeyed and respected to some degree by newer members. However, due to this system, reports of in-fighting among small groups of FOL members are not uncommon, and those whose actions are radically divergent from the larger group are usually eradicated by other operatives.
Though the decentralised power structure amplifies internal conflict, it has proved effective at shielding the most active FOL members from capture. Thus far, many of the arrested FOL members are individual or small-group actors, and are mostly uninformed of large-scale FOL operations. Even those arrested with more background with FOL are generally unaware of the identities of their collaborators, recognizing one another solely by codename.
FOL does not appear to have a single, cohesive purpose behind its actions. Due to FOL's decentralisation of authority, several chapters of thought appear to have emerged while operating under the same general principal, and doctrine varies noticeably between chapters operating in different countries. However, FOL ideology is not wholly indiscernible. In spite of some variations in thought, there appears to be a consensus among FOL operatives that the organisation is anarchist, and dedicated to "cleansing the world of the socioeconomic divide and political corruption, and establishing a world where people are truly free to be people."
FOL's main method of communicating its ideology with the general public is through delivering manifestos. Such manifestos have been issued on paper, electronically, as well as through hijacked radio and television broadcasts. These manifestos usually vary in details from release to release, though the general idea is that articulated above. Refer to Document 001-A for a list of the known FOL manifestos made to date.

Compliance with sections [REDACTED] of the IHRT may be waived with permission of the Home Secretary, the Prime Minister, or Queen Joselle. In the case of a parliamentary-declared national emergency, compliance with sections of the IHRT as numbered above may also be waived by the highest in command of the CI.
