Is this the case in which someone was certain they were guilty?

It's deterrence policing and overreach.

I'm thinking that the prosecution knew that the charges were unlikely to stick, but these charges allowed for pre trial detention, whereas lower charges more likely to stick would not have led to detention. I think the security services abused the process to make an example of these people.

Maybe in part to justify their proscription of the organisation along the lines of "these are bad people, they are in prison (without mentioning not yet been to trial and not yet found guilty/innocent) so we the Gov. are right and justified to proscribe their organisation".
