The point of the detainment was to get "an apology" for the published articles for the purpose of making an example of the journalist for other news agencies and also for internal audiences who may have read the articles.
These articles (and the "follow-up" detainment article) provided a valuable glimpse into a closed society. I am confident Mr Wingfield-Hayes is a responsible adult who can make his own decisions about risk.
