New York Times skriver om Manning som försöker få Obama att frige henne:
Chelsea Manning, who confessed to disclosing archives of secret diplomatic and military documents to WikiLeaks in 2010 and has been incarcerated longer than any other convicted leaker in American history, has formally petitioned President Obama to reduce the remainder of her 35-year sentence to the more than six years she has already served.
Hon har försökt begå självmord i fängelset och då straffats med att bli placerad i isoleringscell.
