Supporters of Bradley Manning stripped down to their skivvies outside the office of US Senator Diane Feinstein to protest the treatment of the suspected WikiLeaker, who is being held in solitary confinement, often without being allowed to wear clothes.
Chanting slogans such as “Solitary confinement is inhumane” and “Due process, humane treatment,” the protesters called on Feinstein to oppose Manning's prison conditions, which also prevent him from exercising, sleeping during the day, or reading except during certain hours. He has also been forced to sleep naked many nights and then stand at full attention the following morning for inspection, according to his attorney.
Several of the supporters wore face masks depicting the army intelligence analyst, who has been charged with about two dozen counts, including aiding the enemy, which carries the potential of a death sentence. He was arrested in May and first charged in July with downloading confidential documents and later supplying them to WikiLeaks.
Baring breasts and covering their private parts with signs that read “Manning: Stripped of his rights,” some of the protesters also wore face masks depicting the 23-year-old suspect. The setting being San Francisco, most passersby barely seemed to notice.
Be glad you’re gay Bradley.
Ugh....put you clothes back on....please!
It looks like a contest to replace Helen Thomas!
If Manning is counting on these skanks getting him out of jail he will be there a long time.
Guilty - Guilty - Guilty - Extremely Guilty -Guilty - Guilty!!!!!
Maybe that’s why he’s gay. Can’t say I’d blame him, from the look of things.
Someone please open the cell door.
If they think they’re HELPING him, well....they’re WILDLY optimistic.
My eyes..!
Seriously, what species are those critters?
That picture just might turn some men gay. It is certainly inhumane treatment to be forced to look at those women. Sleeping naked would be easy compared to looking at that.
Bunch of freaks. Circus freaks
But then, it's not 30 years ago.
afraidfortherepublic, that is a thousand times worse than posting a Helen Thomas picture.
You are a bad, bad person. Bad!
innocent, guilty, maybe not guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty.
The one trying to read her own sign upside down is mine. Intellect always impresses me.
No wonder he’s a homo.
They’re not really nude... but TMI!
Ping just because...
Dude, she's checking to make sure her hoots aren't hanging below the sign.
