Chelsea Manning supporters accuse US of harassment over latest charges

Supporters of the jailed former American soldier Chelsea Manning say she's being threatened with indefinite solitary confinement after being accused of "disrespect" and "disorderly conduct" at a military prison in Kansas.


More than 75 thousand people have signed a petition accusing the US government of deliberate harassment of the former soldier who is serving a 35 year sentence for providing secret documents to the website Wikileaks.
