After 28 days of incarceration, United States Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning has been released from solitary confinement and moved into the general population unit of the Truesdale Detention Center in Northern Virginia. Since March 8, Manning has been imprisoned in contempt of court. Her solitary confinement has been akin to torture, U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said. “Chelsea is being tortured for whistleblowing, she should be released on bail, and we should ban extended solitary in the US,” she tweeted.
