BRADLEY MANNING,
1,000 days in prison -
Enough is enough!
23 February 2013
International Day of Action
Events in Canada, Germany, UK, US. . .
PHILADELPHIA - Picket and Speak Out.
12-1:30pm,
outside the Independence Visitors Center
(Between 5th & 6th and Market St.)
The Bradley Manning Support Network (BMSN) has called for an International Day of Action in support of Bradley Manning, the 24-year-old gay US soldier, charged with blowing the whistle on US war crimes by giving thousands of documents to Wikileaks, including the infamous “Collateral Murder” video.
Imprisoned in May 2010, Bradley was for months kept in solitary confinement plus additional torture. On 23rd February he will have been detained for 1,000 days without trial. The military prosecutor is seeking a life sentence for his having got the truth out to us.
No pride in the slaughter of others!
Bradley Manning is part of the tradition of openly gay men who refuse to kill, torture and rape as part of the armies of the world.
Bradley Manning is of the 99%
We urge all in the anti-war, refuseniks, veterans, whistle-blowers, prisoners support, LGBTQ and women’s, movements – in fact everyone in the 99% who supports justice -- to join in defence of Bradley Manning on 23 February
What you can do:
· Join the picket – bring placards & banners
· Organize demos, small or big, register your action on the BMSN website, tell your local press
· Send messages of support to BMSN. (Cc Payday & Queer Strike, and we’ll publish on our websites.)
· Sign Daniel Ellsberg’s petition (Pentagon Papers whistle-blower)
Invest in caring, not killing!
Whistleblowing is not a crime!
