Chelsea
Manning is back in jail, despite having been pardoned for
the "crime" of informing the public about what the U.S. and
other governments were up to.
Click
here to sign a petition asking that Manning be freed,
again!
This time, Manning is not accused of
anything other than refusing to testify against the
journalists to whom she blew the
whistle.
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel
Ellsberg has this to say:
Chelsea Manning is
again acting heroically in the name of press freedom, and it’s
a travesty that she has been sent back to jail for refusing to
testify to a grand jury.
An investigation into
WikiLeaks for publishing is a grave threat to all
journalists’ rights, and Chelsea is doing us all a service
for fighting it.
She has already been tortured, spent
years in jail, and has suffered more than enough. She should
be released immediately.
—Daniel Ellsberg
