Whistleblower Chelsea Manning, who is in federal custody in Alexandria, Va., is recovering after attempting to take her own life Wednesday, Mannings 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.
where’s this piece of filth getting the income to pay for a PR specialist?
Im confused. Are we talking about Manning (he) AND some unnamed woman (her?)
Perfect cell mate for Harvey Weinstein.
The parts have already been chopped off, so ya cant threaten to cut it off or hook up the electrodes.
Maybe mess up his hair, or threaten a real nasty nailpolish?
Exactly, then after getting his clearance he was known to be homosexual and a head case and still nothing was done.
Hasnt seen his name in the headlines in several months. Needs some attention.
His failure was his aim, so I guess you could call his failure a success.
It got him the pathological attention he craved.
She is really a dude, Jim.
Didn’t even realize this dic...uhhh I mean puss....uhhh I give up. Didn’t know “it” was even in lock up.
But I thought that his transition was supposed to solve all of his problems.
Close the the thread.
This is the only valid response. LMAO!!
Oh, the guy.
Why the sarcasm? Its true. Transgenders are more suicidal than average pop. Switching genders rarely corrects the problem...

The sarcasm was for the how surprising.
Incidentally, it's disgusting that all these news organizations play along with his delusion. That's the real scandal.

Failed again, didn’t he.
Went to a concert. Graham Nash called him a hero. Then they did “Teach Your Children”. Nash just had to say thank you to teachers. I just wish someone would just say shut up and sing Nash. It wouldn’t have been me. I’m a wuss.
Someone needs to buy him the handbook.
“Switching genders rarely corrects the problem...”
Correction — switching genders is not possible, although mental-illness-induced self mutilation is. Enabling self destruction is hardly a loving posture.
