Former U.S. Army Intelligence and transgender Chelsea Manning has been found guilty of four counts of prison misconduct while serving her sentence in Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, she confirmed via a tweet on Tuesday.
As a result, Manning would not be allowed to go to the gym, the facility library or any other outdoor recreational activity for 21 days. Since then Manning has also expressed her downcast as the said misconduct would "follow [her] thru any parole/clemency hearing forever" and that as a result of the additional charges, "years [were] added" to her sentence, she said in a follow up tweet, early Wednesday.
According to Cosmopolitan, the misconduct was based off of Manning's violation of several rules including "attempted disrespect," "medicine misuse" for using expired toothpaste, "putting food on the floor" and possession of unauthorized reading materials particularly an issue of the "Vanity Fair" featuring Caitlyn Jenner.
It can be remembered that Manning has also faced solitary confinement for 11 months back in 2010 while awaiting trial, thus resulting to human rights advocates' criticism against the U.S. government treatment of the wikileak perpetrator, the Guardian reported.
Manning was sentenced to 35 years of imprisonment for leaking classified information about the Iraq War which, according to the U.S. government, has exposed the military activities of the army to Al Qaeda, Jezebel wrote.
According to Bustle, Manning's lawyers have also claimed that they have been banned from the hearing of the said charges on Manning's misconduct and that a group of supporters turned in a petition with around 100,000 signatures to the U. S. Army liaison office in Congress, urging that the charges be dropped.
Despite being imprisoned, Manning has been continuously publicizing her opinion thru her verified Twitter account. Manning has been using a voice phone to transmit her messages to another individual who tweets on her behalf.
