Inhumane Treatment of WikiLeaks Soldier Bradley Manning

US Private Bradley Manning is accused of leaking information to Wikileaks. © APGraphicsBank US authorities must alleviate the harsh pre-trial detention conditions of Bradley Manning , the soldier accused of leaking information to Wikileaks . The US army private, 23, has been held for 23 hours a day in a sparsely furnished solitary cell and deprived of a pillow, sheets, and personal possessions since July 2010. Amnesty International last week wrote to the US Defence secretary, Robert Gates , calling for the restrictions on Bradley Manning to be reviewed. In the same week, the soldier suffered several days of increased restrictions by being temporarily categorized as a ‘suicide risk’. http://blog.amnestyusa.org/us/inhumane-treatment-of-wikileaks-soldier-bradley-manning/
