To grant bail what crime did they commit?

We thought they too will disapear like Pradeep Ekneligoda.

It is now known that the journalists were taken into custody to "prevent a crime from being committed" The "crime" being passing on news to another anti-government website operating from overseas.

That's why they were released by the Courts as it is impossible to prove an "intended crime". Wonder why our authorities continue to become the laughing stock of the world with such silly actions just to take revenge from those who do not agree with them.
