Chelsea Manning Could Face Additional Punishment for Her Suicide Attempt:
U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning tried to kill herself on July 5 in her cell at Fort Leavenworth military prison. Now, military officials are considering filing charges in connection to the suicide attempt that could make the terms of her imprisonment much more punitive — including indefinite solitary confinement — while possibly denying her any chance of receiving parole.
According to a charge sheet posted by the American Civil Liberties Union, Manning was informed by military officials on Thursday that she is under investigation for “resisting the force cell move team,” “prohibited property,” and “conduct which threatens.”
After engaging in the equivalent of torture, the US government considers doubling down and to make Manning’s live even more unbearable after driving her to suicide. A ‘just’ state indeed.
