Hundreds Protest at Kansas Military Base for Manning Release

Hundreds of people gathered at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on Saturday to call for the release of the alleged whistleblower U.S. Army Private Bradley Manning. The protest marked the first public event in support of Manning since his transfer to Fort Leavenworth in April. Manning was previously held in solitary confinement for nine months at a Marine brig in Virginia following his arrest for allegedly leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks.
