We invite individuals and organisations in Europe and beyond to join in the actions, organise your own and/or send us a message of support!
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” (of civilians) video.
Imprisoned in May 2010, Bradley was for months kept in solitary confinement while he faced other torture. On 23rd February he will have been detained for 1,000 days without trial.The military pro- secutor 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.

Letters
Justice denied to Bradley Manning
The Guardian, Friday 15 February 2013
Your letter about the plight of Alfie Meadows and Zak King (11 February) makes the point that justice delayed is justice denied. The same applies to the thousand people whose statements to the high court claim that UK forces in Iraq murdered, tortured and sexually abused Iraqis "in an orgy of sadism, outlawed interrogation methods and unlawful killings" between 2003 and 2008 (MoD orders fresh Iraq torture investigations, 31 January). They are still awaiting justice. Thanks to WikiLeaks, we know about these and many other war crimes. And Bradley Manning, the gay US soldier, continues to be persecuted, charged with the crime of helping hundreds of thousands of files documenting these crimes to be available to us. On 23 February he will have spent 1,000 days in prison without trial and we will protest this injustice all over the world. In London we'll be meeting outside the US embassy.
