BRADLEY MANNING Saturday

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION |

The trial of gay whistleblower Bradley
Manning started on 3rd June in The U.S. government concluded its case against Bradley after
providing no real evidence that he had “aided the enemy” by passing documents
to WikiLeaks. In response, Bradley’s defence is presenting four motions to get a not guilty on most of the greater charges. As the judge is expected to pronounce a verdict very
shortly, the Bradley Manning Support
Network is calling for an international day of action on Saturday 27 July.

Edward Snowden’s exposé of global
snooping by the US has caused outrage around the world, as did the US
re-routing of Bolivian President Evo Morales’ plane, especially in Latin
America. The work of Wikileaks and its founder Julian Assange has been crucial in spreading Bradley Manning’s evidence
of governments’ crimes and brutality, and for organizing against US
persecution of Edward Snowden.
