Like other minorities in Russia, the Jews lived in "miserable and circumscribed lives,
forbidden to settle or acquire land outside the cities and towns, legally
limited in attendance at secondary school and higher schools, virtually
barred from legal professions,
denied the right to vote for municipal councilors, and
excluded from services in the Navy or the
Guards."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_1905#cite_note-Harcave_1970.2C_22-11I'd like to know if the sentence beginning "forbidden" and ending with "Guards" is a participle phrase.
Thank you in advance for your help.
