rebellion leaders
Those who organize
Rebellion leaders are those who organize and direct armed resistance against established authority—typically a government or ruling power.
The phrase emphasizes their role in leading rather than merely participating: The rebellion leaders were captured and executed.
Unlike revolutionaries, who may succeed, rebellion leaders often carry connotations of failed or ongoing insurgency.
