Update 2/18/13: Nearly 40 events to mark Bradley Manning’s 1,000 day imprisoned without trial
Events are planned worldwide for this weekend in support of army whistle-blower Bradley Manning. The following week a judge may rule on whether to dismiss Bradley’s charges due to speedy trial violations
Events planned across the U.S. and internationally will mark WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning’s 1000th day in prison without trial. They include protests, vigils, hip-hop performances, concerts, art and theater. Bradley’s trial, which threatens a truth-chilling life sentence, is now expected to start on June 3, 100 days after our Feb 23 International Day of Action. There has never been a more important time to broadcast our message of support for exposing war crimes, international justice, and people’s right to know what the government does in our name.

Good luck Bradley
Free Bradley Manning! U.S. Military out of other peoples’ countries! END THE FED! Ron Paul is my President. That is all. For now.
At this time more than at any other time we have to support our whistleblowers, they are today’s heroes. Without their courage and commitment we would be still ‘in the dark’. It’s not whistleblowers who are the criminals, but the shadowy figures and their minions, ruining lives. From my heart I thank all whistleblowers who are trying to change this corrupt and evil system we are enslaved to.
Free bm and the herb!
I am arranging vigil for Brad in Cathederal Square. Peterborough. Cambridgeshire UK 12noon till 2pm on 23rd Feb. Please support
