Chelsea Manning Says She Was Blocked from Entering Canada
---------------------------------------------------------

Former U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning says she's been blocked
from entering Canada. On Monday, Manning posted on Twitter a report from
Canadian immigration authorities denying her entry. As a reason, it
cites her 2013 court-martial conviction and reads, "if committed in
Canada this offense would equate to an indictable offense, namely
treason." In response, Manning tweeted, "no walls, no borders, no bans,
no deportations, no prisons. #We Got This."
