At least it is not OK for a state to prosecute or expatriate
people because of their opinions. So this "right" does not apply
to every group. I'm not sure whether it applies to any group at
all.
What makes a state different from other social groupings of people? In
fact, exile of dissidents has a long history as a legitimate means of
ensuring state cohesion. The colonies were primarily populated by
religious dissidents, except in Australia.
