Making absolutely no statement on him being held or the veracity of his detainment, I have to mention one thing. You cannot say with any certainty that the above statement is true. I completely understand being upset about him being charged, but assuming that he never committed an act of terrorism when all you know about his life was that he was imprisoned without charges is a fucking stretch. He could be as innocent as a baby, but you're definitely making a claim without evidence. No charge =/= to innocent.
He was proven not to be implicated in any sort of terrorist activity. His release was demanded by the Supreme Court. He was never charged with a crime.
And at any rate, we've been through this before. His innocence should have been presumed in the light of zero evidence to the contrary until evidence could be brought forth that demonstrated his guilt.
