((( 1 ))) MAWO PUBLIC FORUM SERIES

>> State Terrorism at its Worst: U.S. War on Democratic and Human Rights, the Case of Private Manning

TUESDAY February 11, 2014
7pm
Joe's Cafe [In Large North Hall]
1150 Commercial Dr. at William St

Private
 Manning, a 26 year old U.S. military intelligence analyst, is currently
 sentenced to the next 35 years in U.S. prison. Private Manning’s crime?
 Blowing the whistle on U.S. war crimes. Private Manning released 
documents of these crimes to Wikileaks, and made public the atrocities 
committed by the U.S. military. Private Manning, a true soldier of 
humanity, released this information with a great risk to her own life.

Private
 Manning’s 35 year sentencing comes after three years of unlawful 
pre-trial confinement, periods of solidarity confinement and various 
forms of torture. For telling the truth about war crimes, not only were 
Private Manning’s democratic and human rights violated by these 
conditions and sentencing, but this is part of a U.S. war against the 
democratic and human rights of all people who value truth, justice and 
peace.

This third forum in the three part series will feature a 
collection of news clips and video footage, speakers and discussion. 
Join this forum to find out more about Private Manning’s case and how we
 can defend her, and all of our human and democratic rights.

Speakers:
>>
 Gerry Condon ~ long time U.S. antiwar activist, currently on the 
steering board of the Pvt. Manning Support Network and Vice President of
 Veterans for Peace. (Speaking via video conference)
>> Alison Bodine ~ Executive Committee member of Mobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO)
