resistance leader
Underground movement head
A resistance leader is a person who organizes or commands opposition to an occupying force, oppressive regime, or dominant power.
The term typically applies to armed or clandestine movements: French resistance leaders during World War II, resistance leaders fighting the military junta.
It carries connotations of moral legitimacy that "rebel leader" or "insurgent commander" may lack.
