Lawyers for the courageous whistleblower Chelsea Manning have
confirmed that the 32-year-old was rushed to a hospital on Wednesday
after an attempted suicide while incarcerated in a federal detention
center in Alexandria, Virginia.
Manning has been subjected to solitary confinement and punitive daily
fines for one year as of today, for refusing a subpoena to testify in a
secret grand jury against Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian
Assange.
Assange is currently being held in London’s maximum security Belmarsh
Prison as he awaits possible extradition to the US, where he faces up
to 170 years in prison for charges under the Espionage Act for
publishing documents exposing imperialist war crimes in Iraq and
Afghanistan that had been leaked by Manning in 2010.
