Chelsea Manning's health threatened by solitary confinement in Virginia jail, her support group says
Washington Representatives for Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst behind one of the largest leaks of classified information in US history, are arguing for her removal from solitary confinement, saying it threatens her health and surmounts to"torture."
On Saturday, Manning's"support committee" said that she has been kept in her cell for 22 hours a day -- which they say constitutes solitary confinement."Chelsea can't be out of her cell while any other prisoners are out, so she cannot talk to other people, or visit the law library, and has no access to books or reading material," the committee, Chelsea Resists, said in a statement."She has not been outside for 16 days.
