They’ve been in prison until this point. That’s nearly two years in prison without having been found guilty in a trial. The maximum is supposed to be six months.
To be clear, they broke into a factory and attacked someone with a hammer that they took with them for that purpose.
Then they publicly stated that they would do it again as soon as they got the chance. It’s that later statement which is why they had to be kept behind bars.
They had the option to apologise, say things got out of control and agree to bail conditions but they refused to do that so they are in prison by their own choice.
It would be negligent of the justice system to do nothing release them to find another victim.
I’m well aware of the CTL and also that it can be extended in certain circumstances, as it was in this case. It even says this is possible in the link you provided.
There is recourse in law (again in the link you provided) to seek a review if you feel CTL is unjustly extended but it’s interesting that the people who were subsequently found guilty of their crimes didn’t seek a review when they could have done so.
You might conclude that the people who commited these crimes had the conviction in there beliefs to do it but not quite enough belief to actually accept the consequences of breaking the law. That’s pretty pathetic isn’t it?
Because it isn’t true.

The facts of the case are being deliberately obscured to further agendas rather than promoting the truth.

There is a legal limit of 182 days to hold someone in custody, which is there for obvious and important reasons.
