Chelsea Manning used Wikileaks to courageously expose U.S. war crimes by both D<\/strong>emocratic and Republican administrations around the <\/strong>globe \u2013 includi<\/strong>n<\/strong>g U.S. soldiers\u2019 murders of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, support for torture, and coup d\u2019etats.<\/strong>

Recently the Trump administration sent her back to jail for refusing to answer questions before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.

As she was being taken back into custody on March 8, Chelsea said, \u201cI will not participate in a secret process that I morally object to, particularly one that has been historically used to entrap and persecute activists for protected political speech.\u201d
