Chelsea Manning hospitalized after suicide attempt.
"Her actions today evidence the strength of her convictions, as well as the profound harm she continues to suffer as a result of her 'civil' confinement — a coercive practice that the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Nils Melzer, recently said violates international law," her legal team said Wednesday.
Manning told reporters last March she declined to answer grand jury questions based on her First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendment rights. She claimed that all substantive information being sought on her 2010 disclosure of documents were provided in her 2013 court-martial. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton told Manning that she would remain in federal custody “until she purges or the end of the life of the grand jury,” a statement from her representatives said.Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking a trove of military intelligence records to the anti-secrecy website Wikileaks.
