There's no proof whatsoever that this arrest was politically motivated. aaronsw's furtive behavior really muddies the waters here - if my sysadmin found a similar laptop in a server closet I would also have called the cops.

I agree, his arrest was probably not politically motivated. However, I believe the way the authorities proceed with prosecution and punishment will be influenced by Aaron's other activities.
