USMC Recruiting Office Protest and Action for Bradley Manning!
In solidarity with Wikileaks whistle blower Bradley Manning undergoing pretrial hearings the same day the defense will be facing off with the military prosecution at Ft. Meade MD to argue that all charges be dismissed because of “unlawful pretrial punishment”.
At this extremely important hearing, Bradley’s lawyer David Coombs will focus on the abuse Bradley endured in Quantico, VA. It i
It was US Marine Corps officers including then-Lt General George Flynn who reportedly directed PFC Bradley Manning’s illegal pretrial confinement conditions.
USMC Lieutenant General George Flynn, who was serving as the Commanding General of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command at the time, ordered Manning’s solitary confinement, arbitrary suicide restrictions and unjust and cruel treatment which amounted to torture at the Quantico Marine Brig in Virgina all in violation of Article 13 which safeguards against unlawful pretrial punishment.
This is one of the defense’s final chances to reduce possible sentencing, second in importance only to the court martial which begins next February 4th.
Come rally with us outside the US Maine Corps officers recruiting office and demand that Bradley’s mistreatment be accounted for! Speakers will include leading members of the Bradley Manning Support Network and partner organizations.
