I disagree with this statement and probably the complete premise of your story.

Everyone is entitled to basic human rights when they are born. Any government that abriges those rights is not a proper government and is probably in violation of the United Nations Charter. You might ask what these basic human rights are. I would suggest that the first 10 amendments to the U.S. constitution would be a good start. These 10 amendments collectively are call the "Bill of Rights" and were very well crafted. The idea that there are certain unalienable rights endowed by our creator that are universal is a long-standing liberal construct and the basis for modern societies.

These rights do not give license to foment and advocate for terroristic violence. The limits on free speech do very by country, courts have provided clarity on the subject. It is pretty easy to know where the lines are drawn.
