No, not it's not. Being able to use Tornado Cash is not a human right.
You are the type of person that harms the fight to enforce the core rights described by something like the ECHR by calling any action you don't like by a government "against my human rights". It's reductive and harmful.
The privacy rights enshrined in the ECHR (sorry I'm not familiar with what rights are granted to US citizens, i guess they are those in the US Constitution) are those of correspondence (WhatsApp etc.) and to have a private family/private life (no Stasi listening devices in the plant pot).
Both of these have an exception for targeted use as a part of a criminal investigation.
You may not agree with the definition, and Tornado Cash is a core human right as far as you are concerned, which is fair enough. But there is no legal authority to enforce this, as there is with something like the ECHR where there are a large number of countries who have placed the convention into their domestic laws.
