Chelsea Manning Facing Solitary for Expired Toothpaste, Magazine 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Lawyers for U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning say she could face
punishment of indefinite solitary confinement for having an expired tube
of toothpaste, an issue of Vanity Fair in which transgender celebrity
Caitlyn Jenner describes her new life as a woman, the U.S. Senate report
on torture and other "prohibited property" in her cell. She is also
accused of "showing disrespect" for asking to see her lawyer in a
discussion with a prison officer. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence
for leaking U.S. government cables to Wiki Leaks.
