One cruelly subjugating others (9)

I believe the answer is:

oppressor

(Other definitions for oppressor that I've seen before include "Persecutor of proposers" , "One subjects others to undue pressure" , "One who keeps another in subjection" , "Tyrant" , "One tyrannises" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
