Lawyers: Chelsea Manning recovering after suicide attempt
The Hill ^ | March 11, 2020 | Zack Budryk

Whistleblower Chelsea Manning, who is in federal custody in Alexandria, Va., is recovering after attempting to take her own life Wednesday, Manning’s legal team said in a statement.

Andy Stepanian, a publicist for Manning, said Wednesday that Manning was hospitalized after the event and is currently recovering.

“Ms. Manning is still scheduled to appear on Friday for a previously-calendared hearing, at which Judge Anthony Trenga will rule on a motion to terminate the civil contempt sanctions stemming from her May, 2019 refusal to give testimony before a grand jury investigating the publication of her 2010 disclosures,” Stepanian said in a statement Wednesday.

Stepanian said that despite being detained for over a year, Manning continues to refuse to participate in grand jury proceedings against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, calling them “highly susceptible to abuse.”

“Her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions, as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her 'civil' confinement — a coercive practice that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, recently said violates international law,” Stepanian added.

In February, attorneys for Manning filed a request for her release, arguing her detention is unlawfully punitive with no purpose because she will not testify under any circumstances.

I wouldn't go to a Graham Nash concert, but if I were to find myself in one I'm old enough not to GHS about what I would say. Not disparaging you - we (Conservatives) have have to get down in the gutter with the Left if we expect to clean the swamp. I hope I would find the grace to say the right thing.

He wasn’t a whistle blower. Where did they get that bizarre idea.

“...recovering after attempting to take her own life Wednesday,...”

What makes everyone think this was a suicide?

If the he/she/it wanted to off him/her/itself, he/she/it could have visited Gaza and proclaimed: “I am a faggy lesbo who hates Mohammad the Madman.

You’re absolutely right, he’s a traitor and not a whistle blower.

“Her life”? As I told my son the other night, getting a lopadickoffame doesn’t make one a woman.

They’re mentally disturbed with a serious mental disorder and are prone to suicide and other extremely risky behaviors. No amount of acceptance of their disorder or denial it is a disorder will ever change the truth. These persons need help and denying that fact only makes everything worse for everyone.
