> For all we know, this detention is completely unrelated to WannaCry.
No everyone has already determined 'wow he did a good deed' and 'us law enforcement bad'.
The fact is he is linked to this event and a person of interest who they want to get more info from. As such it makes total sense they would detain him for some questioning searches and so on.
If you are someone who stops a crime you will also get questioned by the police. For all they know you are covering your own tracks and had a role in the crime. This is almost a cliche in movies and tv.

Yup. Law enforcement is not obliged to assume his innocence.
I understand your point of view, but I don't share it.
First, asking questions doesn't require to detain people.
Second, that person is not an American citizen. Unless he committed crimes on the American soil, which might be the case, handling foreign visitors like that is puzzling to say the least.
Everyone's determined 'us law enforcement bad' because it doesn't matter what crime he may or may not have committed. He was arrested in the US, which means he may be tortured or murdered, and if he's sentenced he almost certainly will be tortured through means such as prisoner assaults, permanent solitary confinement or abuse, or god knows what else. And heaven forbid he's sent to a military prison. He will never come out again.
If you believe the USA is so terrible then push for sanctions against them. Its better than wringing your hands anytime one of our longtime allies decides to arrest a alleged criminal.
