Hundred supporters gathered outside the White House the evening of the verdicts.

On July 26-27, thousands of supporters in the US and around the world marched and rallied to support Bradley Manning.

The largest demonstration was held outside of Ft. McNair in Washington D.C. where Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan’s office is.  As Convening Authority of Bradley Manning’s trial, Maj. Gen. Buchanan has the authority to reduce Bradley’s sentence, and supporters gathered asking him to do the right thing by releasing Bradley Manning.

On Tuesday, July 30, Judge Denise Lind delivered verdicts in US v. Manning, acquitting Bradley of the “aiding the enemy” charge, but finding him guilty of 20 other charges, including six counts based on the insidious Espionage Act.

More than 70 supporters traveled to Ft. Meade to watch the judge deliver her verdict on Tuesday, and many participated in a vigil beforehand.

In an article published in The Washington Post, Caitlin Dewey writes about the vagueness of this act and how the Obama Administration has used it to indict six whistle-blowers under this act, twice as much as the previous administrations combined. “In the period immediately after it was written, the Espionage Act was used to jail hundreds of socialists and pacifists who opposed World War I. Later it would be applied to everyone from KGB spies to nuclear scientists.” Click here for the full article.
