Chelsea Manning (1987 - )
Thu Dec 17, 1987
Chelsea Elizabeth Manning is an American activist and whistleblower who was born on this day in 1987. She is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted by court-martial in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents.
Among the documents released was the infamous “Collateral Murder” video, which depicted two American helicopters firing on Reuters journalists and children. Manning was imprisoned from 2010 until 2017, when her sentence was commuted by Barack Obama.
“When I chose to disclose classified information, I did so out of a love for my country and a sense of duty to others.”
