I think we're arguing at cross purposes because you're talking about legal rights while I'm talking about the philosophical concept. Even if my rights are universally denied, I can still assert their existence, and insist on exercising them, as long as I'm willing to pay the price of fines, incarceration, or life - and there are many examples of this in history.

For context, I also hold the position that while being incarcerated obviously limits your physical liberty and maybe others, true liberty is a a state of mind; if you both take responsibility for acting on your authority and consider your incarceration unjust, your psychic liberty is intact and can't be mechanically confiscated from you. This might seem like a meaningless distinction, but the consciousness of one's fundamental freedom is what sustains many political prisoners, and conversely what authoritarians most fear and work to suppress.
