Yes. While I do question whether or not they're likely to repeat the same atrocities their oppressors did to them, or if their methods may be counterproductive or useless, I do certainly think they'd be in the right to rebel. This does not change that those rights they fight for are given by the powers that be. Before you're going to argue otherwise, please do some reading on the naturalistic fallacy and the is-ought problem and how they relate to the assumptions you keep making. If you don't, I can guaran-goddam-tee that this discussion will go nowhere.
I don't want to go into a philosophical discussion at this point. I say that the state does not have the right to determine and restrict our human rights (which are generally agreed upon by humanity). Basically, I deny that the state is the highest authority. It seems you agree with that notion too.
