Bradley Manning, 25, gay whisleblower on war crimes |
The growing
movement in support of Bradley Manning which organised an unprecedented
International Day of Action on 23 February, has received a major boost when
Bradley spelled out why he became a whistleblower passing information to
WikiLeaks. International media, from the magazine Afrique-Asie, to the Huffington Post, English Pravda, Middle-East
on line, French Alter Info, and countless periodicals, blogs and websites
of many languages, have celebrated his "exceptional courage".
Join the
movement to Free Bradley Manning and defend whistleblowers like Julian
Assange, conscientious objectors and other refuseniks, women and men, gay and
straight, who refuse to kill, rape and torture for the governments of the
world. |

A man of
exceptional courage and principle In a statement he read in court on 28
February 2013, Bradley Manning forthrightly admitted having leaked information
to Wikileaks in order to inform the public of US war crimes and government
skulduggery that was being kept from us. He pleaded guilty to the charge of
"misusing classified material" and 10 lesser charges, together
possibly carrying a sentence of 20 years, but not to the ”aiding the enemy”
and related charges that risks him getting life in prison if the prosecution
continues to press them as it says it will. Bradley also revealed that before
he went to Wikileaks with the material, he approached the Washington Post and the New York Times, but these media showed
no interest. Read Bradley's statement; hear him in this unofficial recording; watch comment by The Young Turks. He has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the third time
in a row. |
