A high-capacity nondemocratic regime rolled back civil rights in response to an external threat.

Evidence

But not much room. After the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, and (especially) after suicide bombings in Casablanca on May 16, 2003 killed thirty-three people, Mohammed’s government cut back civil rights markedly in a drive against Islamic militants. According to the international monitoring organization Human Rights Watch (HRW), the antimilitant drive largely undid the progress made since Mohammed VI’s accession. … At that point, the regime as a whole remained in the high-capacity, nondemocratic quadrant. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 396
