English Synonyms and Antonyms
denounce
To condemn is to pass judicial sentence or render judgment or decision against. We may censure silently; we condemn ordinarily by open and formal utterance. Condemn is more final than blame or censure; a condemned criminal has had his trial; a condemned building can not stand; a condemned ship can not sail. A person is convicted when his guilt is made clearly manifest to others; in somewhat archaic use, a person is said to be convicted when guilt is brought clearly home to his own conscience (convict in this sense being allied with convince, which see under PERSUADE); in legal usage one is said to be convicted only by the verdict of a jury. In stating the penalty of an offense, the legal word sentence is now more common than condemn; as, he was sentenced to imprisonment; but it is good usage to say, he was condemned to imprisonment. To denounce is to make public or official declaration against, especially in a violent and threatening manner.

How to use denounce in a sentence?
First things first—the emperor has no clothes, and anyone concerned about the future of open societies and liberal democracy should denounce Ortega’s regime as a brutal dictatorship, more sanctions may lead to a ‘double-down’ show of a false sense of ‘national sovereignty.’.
Our job here is not to denounce anyone, we do not have a direct focus on the police or on the drug gangs, our focus is really to get people out of the way of stray bullets.
Former Prime Minister Francois Fillon:
He must heed the pleas from the police and the French people, who all denounce the lack of authority.
CHC is here today to denounce the ICE raids ... deporting these refugees essentially means that we're sending them back to their home countries to face possible death.
This weekend two right-wing groups sought to hold peaceful rallies. Their leaders — Patriot Prayer’s Joey Gibson, a Japanese-American, andAmber Cummings, a transgender President Trump supporter — explicitly denounced racism. Amid fears of violence, both cancelled their events. Antifa showed up anyway, outnumbering and terrorizing any right-wingers or President Trump supporters who dared show their faces. Antifa views President Trump as fundamentally reactionary, as a necessary opposition to corrosive ideologies. But because your foe is a really bad guy does n’t mean you’re inherently a good one. Movements are defined not merely by what they oppose but by what they do. Antifa’s censorious criminality resembles the very political behavior it claims to fight. The mainstream left ought to denounce it as much as the right should reject white supremacists.
