>not having been found guilty of any crime, are innocent.
That's not what innocent means. You should use unconvicted.

Why I should use "unconvicted", which implies possible guilt, for people who have not even been charged with anything, but are simply imprisoned and/or tortured indefinitely?

If you don't like that word, then use a longer phrase to convey what you mean. Innocent does not.

No, I will not come up with another word or phrase just because you will not accept
innocent
