The meaning of Forfeit

In other words, an apostate in a Muslim society, according to this view, forfeits his freedom of expression.

What does "forfeit" mean here exactly? I have looked it up in a dictionary but I couldnt get the meaning precisely.

Regards

When others (as in this context) make you forfeit something, you lose it, it's taken from you.

When you voluntarily forfeit something, you give it up.
