Washington </span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">DC,
March 14, 2011 — On March 19-20, 2011, activist organizations and
individuals will take to the streets to protest the U.S. government’s
treatment of accused WikiLeaks whistleblower Army Private First Class
Bradley Manning. Manning, 23, has been held in isolation for nearly 300
days, charged with releasing classified documents, including a video
that shows American troops shooting and killing 11 people, including two
Reuters employees, in 2007.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">
Organizers are calling on supporters around the world to take public
action to protest Manning’s inhumane treatment at the Quantico brig,
which P.J. Crowley, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton’s former assistant
for public affairs, declaimed last week as "ridiculous and
counterproductive and stupid."</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">The
primary rally will take place outside the brig in Quantico where Manning
is being held. In addition to the Quantico rally, the Bradley Manning
Support Network is pleased to announce events in cities around the
world, including Minneapolis, London, Montreal, The Hague, Phoenix, San
Diego, and Vienna</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">“On
March 2nd, Manning was stripped of his clothing and forced to spend the
night naked, then stand for inspection the next morning without his
clothes. This happened again the following night, and we don’t know how
long this will keep going,” said Jeff Paterson, steering committee
member of the Bradley Manning Support Network and project director of
Courage to Resist. “This pre-trial punishment is inhumane.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">
Despite the recommendations of three forensic military psychiatrists,
the MCB Quantico Commander refuses to lift PFC Manning's Prevention of
Injury (POI) status and change his confinement classification from MAX
to Medium Custody In (MDI). </span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-top: 0cm">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: #333300">
Manning’s imprisonment has resulted in an international outcry, and his
conditions are the subject of an investigation by the UN special
rapporteur on torture and a recent campaign by Amnesty International.
Famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who will be
speaking at a rally in Quantico on the 20th, has called Mr. Manning “a
new hero of mine.”</span></p>
