    WikiLeaks source Chelsea Manning ordered free from prison; fined $256,000
  • Former United States Army soldier Chelsea Manning was released from prison on Thursday on the orders of a federal court in Virginia.

    Manning, who leaked classified government and military documents to WikiLeaks in 2010, had been in a detention center in Virginia since last May.

    She was detained for refusing to testify in an inquiry into WikiLeaks.

    Here are more details.

  • According to Reuters, US District Court Judge Anthony Trenga ordered Manning's release since the grand jury hearing the case had concluded.

    Manning's detention hearing scheduled for Friday was also canceled as the judge found that it was no longer necessary for Manning to testify.

    Trenga, however, rejected Manning's request to cancel fines amounting to $256,000 imposed on her for her refusal to testify.

  • In 2013, Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking classified information pertaining to the Afghanistan war to WikiLeaks, which were published in 2010.

    In 2017, however, then US President Barack Obama had commuted the remainder of her sentence.

    On May 16, 2019, she was jailed again after she refused to cooperate with a subpoena to testify in the WikiLeaks inquiry.
