Hero, enemy of the state, information champion, victim?<\/p>\n
Ann Clwyd MP<\/strong>, Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Human Rights Tuesday 24th May 2011, 6pm \u2013 7.30pm On the week that President Obama visits the UK and on the one year anniversary of Bradley Manning\u2019s arrest and detention, a panel discusses the issues raised by the case of Bradley Manning and what happens now.<\/p>\n Bradley Manning is the US soldier accused of leaking information to the WikiLeaks website. Until 20 April, he was held in prison conditions which attracted the condemnation of human rights organisations around the world and which promoted an investigation by the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture.<\/p>\n Manning has yet to face trial, but when he does it will be in a US Court Martial. Can Manning receive a fair trial in the military courts system? What should our attitude be towards the charges levelled against Manning? What has been the effect of the WikiLeaks disclosures and what role did they play in the Arab Spring revolutions? What does the treatment of Manning say about the United States\u2019 attitude to whistle-blowers?
