Your figure of 50% indicates that 50% of people are innocent when in fact, that is not necessarily true, they are released but does that actually mean they are innocent?
Quite simply because the legislation allows anyone to be detained without any evidence at all. They can be detained for the whole period 'just incase' some eviendence were to come to light. I don't think its right to do this to innocent people, it should just be terrorists punished.

They're as innocent as anybody else who is arrested and then let go.
