Bradley Manning Solidarity Day Rally

Sunday, April 10, 2011 - 12:00

Rally: Noon, Town Hall Square, George Street, Sydney.

Bradley Manning is a US Army soldier accused of passing information to Wikileaks, including videos of American airstrikes killing civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and over 250,000 diplomatic cables many of which reveal vast differences between the public statements and the actions of numerous governments.

Bradley was arrested in May 2010, and since July 2010 has been held, so far without trial, in maximum security at the Quantico Marine Base in Virginia. He is facing charges carrying sentences of up to 52 years' jail, and in theory the death penalty. The conditions of his detention, including solitary confinement and forced nakedness, have been widely criticised as inhumane or even amounting to torture.
