Note that he was in prison -serving a sentence- but has since been transferred to a secure mental health hospital where he can be detained under the MHA until he is well.
I don't know if he had an appropriate adult with him at any police interviews. I don't know if he had any legal representation at any time. These are weaknesses in the UK system.
From that article: he Missed bail; traces of explosives; carrying home made rockets; had a stash of encrypted storage drives with him and the authorities wanted to see what was on them. In such cases the person is still innocent but the authorities have a duty to investigate.
Don't get me wrong I am a hacker and someone who has written lots of crypto code, but i don't see this as an example to support the case against the legislation.
