Is there currently someone in UK prison for not giving up their password?

Only one case which I've seen mention of: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25745989

He got an additional four months for the failure to disclose the passphrase, on top of five years three months for Terrorism Act offences.

The Register reported a man getting 13 months (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/24/ripa_jfl?page=1) - though I couldn't find a better reference.

BBC also reported on a teenager getting 16 weeks (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11479831).

In both cases it seems they were jailed purely for failure to disclose passwords and not in conjunction with any other offence.
