The repression of what the Franco dictatorship called "banditry and terrorism" was carried out through a series of regulatory provisions that were intended to persecute and punish activities in opposition to Francoism, whether peaceful or armed. The major ruling was the Decree of Law for the Repression of Banditry and Terrorism, implemented on April 18, 1947, that allowed the Civil Guard and army to take action against the Spanish Maquis, an anti-Fraco guerilla movement. The guerrillas were not considered combatants but "bandits" (in an attempt to depoliticize their struggle). It started the so-called "trienium of terror" (1947–1949) in which Francoist forces resorted to torture and extrajudicial execution of guerillas, sometimes in accordance with the Ley de fugas. Their families and alleged "collaborators" in the mountains and rural areas were also subjected to torture and ill-treatment.[1]
