UK jails schizophrenic for refusal to decrypt files
Terror squad arrest over model rocket

The first person jailed under draconian UK police powers that Ministers said
were vital to battle terrorism and serious crime has been identified by The
Register as a schizophrenic science hobbyist with no previous criminal record.

His crime was a persistent refusal to give counter-terrorism police the keys to
decrypt his computer files.

I guess that in the UK, you no longer have the right to remain silent, and you
no longer have any protections against self-incrimination!
