Chelsea Manning Recovering After Trying to Take Her Own Life in Jail, Lawyers Say

 

Chelsea Manning tried to take her life on March 11, her legal team told The Daily Beast. โ€œShe was taken to a hospital and is currently recovering,โ€ said the statement from her legal team, which is helmed by Moira Meltzer-Cohen. Manning is still set to appear in court for a hearing on Friday, where a federal judge will rule on a motion to terminate civil contempt sanctions against her.

 

โ€œIn spite of those sanctionsโ€”which have so far included over a year of so-called โ€˜coerciveโ€™ incarceration and nearly half a million dollars in threatened finesโ€”she remains unwavering in her refusal to participate in a secret grand jury process that she sees as highly susceptible to abuse,โ€ the statement said.

 

Manning has been jailed for contempt for months after refusing to cooperate with the federal prosecution of WikiLeaks.

 

Manning, a former Army intelligence analyst and Iraq veteran, admitted that she provided WikiLeaks in 2010 with hundreds of thousands of classified military documents detailing civilian deaths caused by U.S. and allied forces, as well as an extensive trove of diplomatic cables that plunged the U.S. into a geopolitical crisis. She said she grew disgusted with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars after prolonged exposure to their brutality.

Extremists Next Door

 

"In recent years, gaming and anonymous social media sites have become breeding grounds for right-wing extremists. Populated by (mostly) young white men disenchanted with their place in society, the platforms have become spaces where hate is normalized and disaffected young people are susceptible to radicalization. CBSN Originals' Adam Yamaguchi reports parents, activists and even some former white nationalists are trying to find ways to stop it, but as much of the rhetoric is cropping up on mainstream platforms it's proving to be an uphill battle.
