I trust you didn't take a smartphone or laptop with you?
If you did, you've already lost all the data on them and you will have
a horrendous clean up job to do when you get them back to UK.

Same applies on a trip to USA. Business people are now cautioned to
use disposable phones and laptops on trips abroad. When they arrive in
a foreign country they are recommended to borrow a laptop and phone
for temporary use and assume that everything they do with them will be
monitored.

That's life in today's world.
