Neither of which is exactly breaking news. It doesn't prove "the left" is portraying these guys as martyrs by any stretch (isn't that evil lib Obama President of the country that arrested them)? Yeah, supporting political violence gets you arrested if you're a liberal and gets you elected if you're a conservative; it's EXACTLY the same. 
Why would it? I'm not the one who apparently feels obliged to defend even the most hateful violent rhetoric if it comes from a political ally. Calling SXSW liberal doesn't make it so, and even if it did, that too many people find violence morbidly entertaining wouldn't be an attempt to make anyone a martyr.
I guess you can claim that is liberal if it makes you fell better.
