They sometimes do this when the person being charged is an informant on other criminals, to avoid organized crime being able to see publicly accessible details that might let them know who's snitching. I'm not saying for sure that that's what's happening here, but it's not necessarily a political prosecution.
As I said, it's just a possibility. I know they've done it before, specifically because the person being tried was in special detention. Again, it doesn't really justify the level of secrecy, and it's certainly a problem that any judge in this country has the power to seal every record relating to a case and ban the media from reporting on it.
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the cosmic irony that even the archive URL is redacted "xxxxxxxx"

The reason doesn't matter. Secret courts are incompatible with democracy, periodt.
You suspect that, but you can't know for sure because they're going to such extreme lengths to hide every detail.
You can potentially justify the redaction of some of the info, but this is an insane amount.
