A political trial is a description, not a type of trial. It can be a criminal trial or a civil trial. The label of 'political trial' can be put on any type of trial as a description by the accused or other parties that believe that the person or persons are being prosecuted for political reasons. It can also be a description for trials that involve political issues or a political agenda.

What is the difference between civil and criminal trials?
Both trials have a judge and/or a jury as triers of fact. In a criminal trial it is the government, known as a prosecutor, that is actually "suing" the defendant, but instead of for money, it's for that person's freedom for the prescribed time the government wants that person incarcerated. If the prosecutor wins this case the defendant is considered to have been found guilty of criminal charges brought before him. A civil case, on the other hand, is one in which an individual person or an entity is suing you for money. Civil cases are not punishable by any type of incarceration or fines. If the "prosecutor" in a civil trial wins the case, then the defendant is found to be liable in the amount that is awarded. In both types of trials, the persons or entities bringing the case to trial are known as the plaintiff, and the opponents are known as defendants.
