On January 3, 2007, Supporters of Spc. Suzanne Swift rallied outside Fort Lewis, Washington to welcome the news that Swift had been released from military prison. Photos

On December 14 Swift was convicted by a summary court martial for missing movement and being AWOL. Specialist Swift had refused to return to Iraq because of the extreme duress she suffered in the form of sexual harassment at the hands of three of her commanding officers. One even coerced her into a sexual relationship, telling her, "If you say anything, I'll make your life a living hell." Swift has since been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Nonetheless, upon being sent to Ft. Lewis after being arrested at her mother’s house while AWOL from the Army, she was forced back into fatigues and into active duty, even while her accusations are under investigation.
