Most people who are not from USA do not make any distinction between jail and prison.

Nitpicking about the precise legal terminology is a bit pointless in this context.

It's not really nitpicking because any sort of pretrial detention is technically "jailed without trial", and pretrial detention isn't some sort of tool only used by fascist regimes. So far as I can tell, he was pulled aside for further questioning and ultimately refused entry, but the authorities didn't go out of their way to detain him for longer than necessary. No, I'm not excusing the government's behavior. Refusing someone entry for possessing a political cartoon is still bad, but "jailed without trial" is just inflammatory wording.

If some protester got arrested for protesting, the reasonable thing to do is to call it just that, not "protester jailed without trial for protesting".

Even your definition seems overly broad, as being arrested is pretrial detention and only requires a spoken word from the officer.
