Free Bradley Manning Now! The Role of Whistle-Blowers in the New Era of War & Occupation

Bradley
 Manning, a 25 year old U.S. soldier, is facing a trial that could 
decide to lock him in jail for the rest of his life. His crime? Bradley 
Manning decided to become a soldier of humanity when he released to 
Wikileaks over 260,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables, videos and 
documents exposing U.S. atrocities and war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan 
and around the world.

After three years of being in a U.S. 
military jail and subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment, solitary 
confinement and forced nudity, Bradley Manning is finally on trial. 
While justice is not something the U.S. military court system serves 
well to whistleblowers, public support for Bradley Manning is critical.

While
 Bradley Manning is facing the U.S. courts, his example is being carried
 forward with yet another whistleblower. Earlier this month Edward 
Snowden, a former contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA) 
released information on the secret U.S. surveillance programs that are 
spying on US citizens and people around the world. Edward Snowden is now
 being charged with espionage, and currently seeking asylum outside of 
the U.S.

We encourage you to join us for this forum to discuss 
the role of whistleblowers in the new era of war and occupation, and why
 antiwar activists and peaceloving people must defend them.
