suspension of rights
Freedoms temporarily revoked
Suspension of rights is the temporary removal or restriction of legal protections or privileges, typically by government action during emergencies, wartime, or civil unrest.
Constitutional rights like habeas corpus may be suspended during martial law.
The suspension of rights during the pandemic sparked protests.
Unlike abolition, suspension implies eventual restoration when conditions normalize.
