Critical Juncture: Act for Bradley Manning
 Nov. 27th - Dec. 3rd
International call to action! Rally at recruiting centers and elsewhere 
to demand fair treatment for Bradley.
November 27-December 2, WikiLeaks whistle-blower Bradley Manning's 
defense will be facing off with the military prosecution in Ft. Meade 
to argue that all charges should be dismissed because of "unlawful 
pretrial punishment". Read more about the unlawful torture and abuse 
here. At this extremely important hearing, Bradley's lawyer David 
Coombs will focus on the abuse Bradley endured in Quantico, VA, which 
was declared by UN Chief Rapporteur on Torture Juan Mendez to be 
"cruel, inhuman and degrading."
This hearing is one of the defense's final chances to reduce possible 
sentencing, second in importance only to the court martial which begins 
next February 4th. It's a crucial chance for the public to show the 
military and the media that they still support Bradley, by staging 
protests around the world and sending messages to top U.S. military 
officials.

the DC area, go to our website.For those unable to attend the DC area 
events, we are calling for rallies at local military recruiting offices 
and U.S. embassies during the hearing.We ask that you take photos of 
your group holding "We are Bradley Manning" signs, or a similarly 
supportive message, and then mail that to the following officials:

Washington DC 20310-0200
President Barack Obama

the event, when mailing your photo to the above officials, please 
include a brief letter of explanation. For example,
"We gathered on November 27, 2012 in front of the recruiting center in 
(city, state) to protest the mistreatment of military whistle-blower 
PFC Bradley Manning. Whistle-blowers play an important role in a 
democracy, and by revealing evidence of unpunished war crimes, as well 
as secret corporate influence on U.S. foreign policy, 
Bradley Manning acted in the interest of American citizens. We are 
appalled by the nine months Bradley was forced to spend in solitary 
confinement at Quantico, VA in addition to the fact he will have spent 
over 900 days in prison before receiving a trial. Please 
free Bradley Manning."
Please also submit photos of your action to owen at bradleymanning.org., 
and to the "I Am Bradley Manning" photo campaign.
