Hundreds Protest at Kansas Military Base for Manning Release 
-------------------------------------------------------------



Hundreds of people gathered at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on Saturday to
call for the release of the alleged whistleblower U.S. Army Private
Bradley Manning. The protest marked the first public event in support of
Manning since his transfer to Fort Leavenworth in April. Manning was
previously held in solitary confinement for nine months at a Marine brig
in Virginia following his arrest for allegedly leaking classified
documents to Wiki Leaks.
