According to the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, a political prisoner is ‘someone who is in prison because they have opposed or criticized the government of their own country’.
The term is used by persons or groups challenging the legitimacy of the detention of a prisoner. Supporters of the term define a political prisoner as someone who is imprisoned for his or her participation in political activity. If a political offense was not the official reason for detention, the term would imply that the detention was motivated by the prisoner's politics.
Some understand the term political prisoner narrowly, equating it with the term prisoner of conscience (POC). Amnesty International campaigns for the release of prisoners of conscience, which include both political prisoners as well as those imprisoned for their religious or philosophical beliefs. To reduce controversy, and as a matter of principle, the organization's policy applies only to prisoners who have not committed or advocated violence. Thus, there are political prisoners who do not fit the narrower criteria for POCs. The organisation defines the differences as follows:

Genres: Comedy,I'm a political prisoner
In jail for what I believe
I never hurt anyone
Just ... ?? told me
All of my freedom
Has been taken away
I am questioned
And tortured everyday
I should be granted amnesty
I shouldn't be held in the first place
They're trying to take my name away
They want to erase my face
If they had their way
I would be killed
The people would be controlled
Dissenters would be...??
I might get the public riled up
On my turn to the institution
'Cause if the truth is made known to all
There'd be a mass revolution
If they had their way
I would be killed
The people would be controlled
