She is being imprisoned again because she stood up for human rights and against the war crimes of the United States. After serving 7 years in jail the US government want to punish her again. She refuses to accept the Grand Jury’s right to interrogate her about Julian Assange who the US government wants to jail. She has already been interrogated by the US government authorities and this fishing expedition is only to further the attack on her for standing up for justice and human rights.\n\nWikiLeaks has been an important resource for the people of the United States in exposing the systemic US intervention against the peoples of the world and the role of the corporations and politicians who have been involved in these crimes. The action to imprison Chelsea Manning must be answered by people throughout the United States and the world. Also labor and the trade unions must stand up for Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning. The attack on journalists and whistleblowers is attack on all democratic rights.\n\nPlease Join and Speak Out On Monday March 18, 2019 12:00 noon\nUS Federal Building\n70 7th St./Mission San Francisco\n\nBay Area Free Julian Assange Action Committee BAFJAAC\nEndorsed by\nUnited Public Workers For Action UPWA.info\n\n\nSan Francisco Labor Council Defends Julian Assange And Bradley Manning\n\nhttp://sflc.live2.radicaldesigns.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/sflaborcouncil/uploads/01-10-11ResOnWikileaks-Assange-Manning.pdf\nJanuary 11th, 2011\n\nSan Francisco Labor Council resolution, adopted January 10, 2011 by unanimous vote\nBe it resolved that the San Francisco Labor Council declares our firm opposition to the efforts of the U.S. and other governments and corporations to criminalize, financially destroy and shut down Wikileaks and to silence, jail and prosecute Julian Assange as well as Bradley Manning.
