He literally is suspended of a crime. Hezbollah is a proscribed terrorist group. You can’t just pop in and visit them without raising eyebrows of the police, so Miller is rightly being questioned.
Being involved with a proscribed terrorist group, on account of attending the funeral of their leader and putting messages of support on social media. That’s in addition to other smoking guns like being paid by Iranian state media.
I’m not sure why you’re having difficulty understanding this. Hezbollah is a terrorist group.
And suspected by the police. That’s who investigate crime, silly billy. Who were you expecting to be questioning him, Batman?
You will of course have read the article, and got the bit where it said :
Miller was held for three and a half hours under Section 7, which deprives detained people of their right to silence and privacy despite carrying no assumed suspicion
Can you take us through what happened cognitively, at this point ?
Because it means the police didn’t have to suspect him of anything. And there is nothing that says this did suspect him of anything .
We really need you to nail this bit, before we can explain the concept that “guilt by association “ is not a real thing, at least in English law.
It’s the same legal standard that means if your mom sells crack, you aren’t automatically a crack dealer also.
Skwawkbox have repeatedly lied in the past (and in this very article), so I’m not inclined to believe them here, they are a pro-Russia rag, after all. In addition they’ve been successfully sued for lying before.
Is there a better source alleging that? Because I can’t find it anywhere.

Except it’s not something his “mom” did (nice job showing off you’re not a British commenter, btw. Just another person sowing discord on political forums), it’s something he did. At a minimum he visited and spent time with a proscribed terrorist group.
I’ll ask again: if someone has dealings with terrorist groups, or visits Russian generals, do you think it’s unreasonable for the police to ask them some questions?
Why are you so reluctant to accept Hezbollah are a terrorist group?
E: FFS, I’m talking to a 2 week old account who has almost exclusively posted anti-Ukraine comments. I really need to check for these things before I reply. There will be no further discussion with you, Dimitri 🇷🇺
The point being made, is the persecution of Miller, who has committed no crime, was not suspected of any crime, for attending a funeral.
You can flap all you want - whos funeral is was is immaterial. There’s not much nuance to it.

What crime is he suspected of and by whom ?
