Manning was convicted at a court martial trial in 2013 of leaking a trove of documents to WikiLeaks. Sentenced to 35 years in prison, Manning's sentence was commuted by Barack Obama just days before the end of his presidency in January 2017. Manning was recently imprisoned again after refusing to provide grand jury testimony in relation to the WikiLeaks case.

Assange’s possible arrest and extradition to the U.S. had been telegraphed after prosecutors mistakenly revealed in November 2018 that the Justice Department had secretly filed criminal charges against Assange. Following a U.K. Supreme Court ruling that he should be extradited to Sweden for questioning over sexual assault charges, Assange sought and was granted political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London back in 2012. He had remained there until London’s Metropolitan Police arrested him in April.

It's possible that Assange could eventually appeal his case to a higher British court and perhaps even to the European Court of Human Rights...Part of article.
