Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been released from a northern Virginia jail after a two-month stay for refusing to testify to a grand jury. 

 

Manning was released Thursday from the Alexandria jail after 62 days of confinement on civil contempt charges after she refused to answer questions before a federal grand jury investigating WikiLeaks. 

 

Her lawyers fear her freedom may be short-lived, though. She was released only because the grand jury’s term expired. Before she left the jail, she received another subpoena demanding her testimony to a new grand jury on May 16. 

 

Her lawyers say she will again refuse to answer questions and could again face incarceration. 

 

Manning served seven years in a military prison for leaking a trove of documents to Wikileaks. [Read More]
