Given the fact that they weren't arrested until the hue and cry emerged, yeah, political prisoners sounds about right. If they were prisoners of actual law, they would have been arrested in February when the incident occurred.
Waiting till May makes it a political arrest for a political cause.
Oh barf.

Maybe it took the state to send in competent investigators and a competent prosecutor before justice was done and these two were held over to await trial. If evidence shows they're innocent then they should walk free. If not then they're facing years in jail. In neither case can anyone in their right mind classify these two as 'political prisoners'.
