In contrast, a right can never be suspended or revoked.

Huh? The right to vote and the right to bear arms, for example, are routinely taken away from convicted felons (even after they finish their prison sentences).

I mean in general rights are absolute in nature for those who possess them but certain people are not allowed to exercise them, either because they have not reached a certain age, they committed a crime or they are not citizens of this country.
