Chelsea
Manning will be 28 years old on
this day. She is the trans woman whistleblower, US
soldier, Grand
Marshal at San Francisco Pride 2014, who leaked
hundreds of thousands of documents to Wikileaks exposing the
truth about US, UK and other governments’ war crimes and corruption in Afghanistan,
Haiti,
Iraq,
Israel
& the Palestinian Authority, Peru, Venezuela
. . .
In doing so, she helped save many
lives. Chelsea was Imprisoned
in 2010 and held for months under torturous conditions; in August 2013 she was
sentenced to 35 years. From prison Chelsea has written against the police killings of young people of colour in the US, and in support of immigrants and refugees – including queer and transgender people. An appeal to quash Chelsea Manning’s conviction is
being put forward by her legal team and will be announced in late 2015 or
early 2016. We must get her out! Sign the petition for Obama
to pardon Chelsea. Donations to her legal fund
are needed also. Despite mass protest, the UK Parliament has just
voted to bomb Syria (see Payday’s letter here). Whistleblowers like Chelsea and now former US drone operators have blown the whistle
on the killing of civilians during bombing. We have a responsibility to defend all
whistleblowers who are persecuted for telling the truth about murder
and war crimes, rape, torture, neglect, underfunding, starvation wages,
corruption . . . in the military, prison, detention centres, police,
hospitals, care homes, and every institution. |
