Here in London, renowned human rights activist Peter Tatchell http://petertatchell.net/ will speak at a solidarity vigil for Bradley Manning at the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday April 24th. 5pm

Bradley Manning a 24 year old U.S. Army intelligence analyst, faces life in prison or the death penalty for allegedly sharing a video of U.S. war crime in Iraq with the WikiLeaks website. http://www.collateralmurder.com/ Manning has also been charged with blowing the whistle on the "Iraq War Logs", the Afghan Diaries", "Guantanamo Files", and embarassing U.S. State Department cables.

Peter Tatchell stated,
"If Bradley blew the whistle on war crimes, he deserves a medal - not a jail sentence. All the charges against him should be dropped. The people who should be prosecuted are the US military personnel who committed the crimes, not the man who allegedly exposed their criminal actions."

Free Bradley Manning!

April the 24th there has been a vigil at U.S. Embassy, London in solidarity with Bradley Manning.

Solidarity activists in support of the imprisoned accused whistle blower Bradley Manning gathered outside the U.S. embassy in London on Tuesday, the first day of his pre-trial hearing at Ft. Meade Maryland/ USA. Proceedings were opened by musician John McClean singing "I Shall be Released". The group was addressed by human rights activist Peter Tatchell, D Day Veteran and member of "Veterans for Peace UK" Jim Radford and former anti-war prisoner of the U.S. Catholic Worker Ciaron O'Reilly.

Background was shared on Bradley Manning's arrest, his now 700+ days in military detention without trial. Updates were also shared on excesses of the legal process he is undergoing. A court martial trial date has now been set for Sept 21st. at Ft. Meade, Maryland USA Bradley will face a military tribunal whose Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, has already stated that Manning is guilty.

Other solidarity actions with Bradley Manning were undertaken in Cardiff, the Fairford military base, the gates of Ft. Meade Maryland/USA and in 16 cities across the world.
