Chelsea Manning released from jail after refusing to testify before grand jury.
Chelsea Manning, an anti-secrecy activist and former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, has been released from jail after a grand jury she refused to testify before expired, her attorneys said Thursday.
Upon release, however, Manning was subpoenaed to appear before a different grand jury, her legal team said. In late January, Manning was subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in a sealed case out of the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia -- the same district in which the government recently filed charges against WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange.
The judge said she would be held until she decided to testify or until the grand jury concluded its work. An attorney for Manning has called her incarceration"an act of tremendous cruelty."
