Chelsea Manning, the controversial former U.S. intelligence analyst who was convicted in the largest breach of classified information in U.S. history, says she been denied entry into Canada.
On Monday, Manning tweeted that she's been "permanently banned" from entering Canada. She included a picture of a letter that appears to alert the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship that Manning has not been authorized to enter Canada and is "inadmissible" due to her prior convictions.
The name of the sender of the letter has been redacted.
The letter cites Manning's espionage charges and goes on to say "if committed in Canada this offence would equate to an indictable offence, namely treason."
Manning has been lauded as a whistleblower and condemned as a traitor for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified government documents to WikiLeaks in 2010 while still known as Pte. 1st Class Bradley Manning.
In 2013, she was convicted on 20 counts, including six involving the Espionage Act.
In one of his last acts as president, Barack Obama commuted Manning's sentence, and she was released from military prison in May after serving seven years of a 35-year sentence.
Manning, 29, refuted that comparison of charges online and said she would be challenging her Canadian denial at a future hearing.

Bradley Edward Manning says he’s been denied entry into Canada
DUI ,autocorrect.
Bradley Manning is still a traitor, and a spy, and a convicted felon. Chopping his penis off and pretending to be a girl doesn’t change those facts. Good for the Canadians!
Has Manning gone full fledged sex change with a chopadicoffofme procedure?
LOL, have to something for the boredom.
No gambling at the casinos in Niagara Falls for you Chelsea!
Yeah, he can request to have it changed. There is a process he can go through. Same thing for most misdemeanors. I have, umm, first hand knowledge. :D
He didn’t get a pardon so wouldn’t there be restrictions on travel etc? And if not, why?
does “she “ blame Bradley for the bad behavior???
Good for Canada. He should be sent to Gitmo forever.
She,he or it? Go to hell.
I wish he’d wake up one morning to find himself on a Saudi airport runway... hint hint Mr. President.
He.
Chopping off his dangley parts does not make him a woman. He’s just a guy without his dangley parts.
Obama commuted your sentence. He did not give you a pardon.
You are still a convicted felon.
Most decent countries will not admit a known felon.
What is so hard to understand about this?
Also, what is it going to do to make a living in Canada?
Bradley Manning, he has been denied entry as well.
P.S. My son just obtained permanent resident status for Canada; no criminal convictions, and also he is a civil engineer, which is much better in Canada, given their generally good manners, than being an uncivil engineer. If he starts rooting for the Blue Jays, I will begin to worry.
I can't blame Canada at all.A thoroughly reprehensible...and dangerous...guy.
I don’t blame us either, but have to admit surprise. With the flakes we currently have at the helm up here, I’m surprised Bradley isn’t given a hero’s welcome.
Put on a burka and keep yelling “Ali Ali Snack bar” then they’ll let you in.
Aha ... pronoun trouble ...
