“In solidarity with many activists facing the odds, I will stand by my principles,' said the former U.S. intelligence analyst of her refusal to testify in a WikiLeaks investigation.
Chelsea Manning, an activist and former intelligence analyst for the United States Army who was convicted by court-martial for violating the Espionage Act, was jailed for refusing to testify to a grand jury that was investigating WikiLeaks.
The day before Manning was ordered to jail, she posted an update on Twitter, explaining she would return to federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, for a closed contempt hearing. During the hearing, the judge would weigh the legality of her refusal to answer questions before the grand jury. If found in contempt, Manning acknowledged, she could be ordered to jail.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was allegedly charged last year, though what he was charged with is unknown since it’s under seal, according to the Chicago Tribune. News of the charges was only brought to the public’s attention after it was inadvertently released in a filing in an unrelated case. "Grand juries are terrible tools," Manning told the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday."The idea that there is an independent grand jury is long gone; it's run by a prosecutor … There is no adversarial process ... I am generally opposed to the existence of a grand jury."
