Chelsea Manning Sent Back To Jail For Refusing To Testify Before Grand Jury

Saturday May 18, 2019. 03:00 PM , from Slashdot/Apple
After being released from jail earlier this month after the grand jury she refused to testify before expired, NPR reports that Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. Army intelligence analyst who provided information to WikiLeaks, has been sent back to jail. An anonymous reader shares the report: Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning was sent back to jail Thursday after refusing for a second time to comply with a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange. 'Facing jail again, potentially today, doesn't change my stance,' Manning told reporters in Alexandria, Va., before U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga said she was in contempt of court. 'I will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury,' Manning insisted. 'So it doesn't matter what it is or what the case is, I'm just not going to comply or cooperate.'

Manning said prosecutors had put her in an impossible position despite the Justice Department granting her immunity from self-incrimination. In addition to being held in custody for the duration of the grand jury's investigation or until Manning testifies, the judge ordered her to be fined $500 every day that she is in custody after 30 days and $1,000 every day in custody after 60 days, according to a statement by Manning's lawyers.
