Why would the socialists want to free Dawit Isaak?

I’m having a hard time getting the thing about this guy. The Swedish journalists, mainly of the socialist persuasion, should be satisfied that a country closes down privately and independent media. This happens 2001 when all media got under governmental control. All good news comes from the government, right? And governments owning things is always correct? So what are you complaining about? Yes it’s a shame that this man is in jail and apparently getting tortured, but so are million others around the world. I say let him sit there and we can all rejoice over another socialist victory.
