Social Sciences - Government / Politics
Arabic term or phrase: قابع
Often used in the phrase:
الشعب القابع تحت الاحتلال

From context, I would guess it's something like oppressed or repressed, but Hans Wehr is giving me nothing helpful, and google language tools are way off ('sponsored'). Any ideas?
