BRADLEY MANNING: SOLDIER OF HUMANITY

Bradley Manning, a 24-year-old U.S.
Army intelligence analyst, has been in U.S. prison for two years
without trial, faced over 10 months of solidarity confinement, in
conditions that are illegal even under U.S. military law. His crime?
Bradley Manning is accused of leaking the “collateral damage”
video footage showing the killing of civilians, including two Reuters
journalists, by a U.S. Apache helicopter crew in Iraq. He is also
charged with sharing documents known as the Afghan War Diary, the
Iraq War Logs, and U.S. diplomatic cables with WikiLeaks. For the
so-called “crime” of blowing the whistle on war crimes, Bradley
Manning faces 22 charges, including “Aiding the enemy by indirect
means,” for which a conviction could result in the death penalty or
life in prison.





Across the U.S. and around the world,
the campaign to Free Bradley Manning is growing. Mobilization Against
War & Occupation (MAWO) here in Vancouver, Lower Mainland and
across British Columbia, has taken up the campaign to Free Bradley
Manning in joining the worldwide campaign that is growing every day.

Come out to MAWO’s forum to join our
launching of the campaign and to learn from leading U.S. organizers
and activists about who Bradley Manning is, and why peace loving
people should join the campaign to defend the rights of Bradley
Manning, a courageous Soldier for Humanity.
