Please ask your MP to sign Early Motion 1624
asking the Government to raise Bradley Manning's case with the US.
Contact your MP at www.writetothem.com

Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old US army private accused of leaking information to WikiLeaks, has been held in harsh detention conditions since July 2010. He is a pre-trial detainee who has been charged, but not convicted of any offence. He is entitled to the presumption of innocence. Amnesty International is concerned that his conditions of detention are unnecessarily severe and amount to inhumane treatment by the US authorities.
