Lawyers Demand Release of Chelsea Manning, Held for Refusing WikiLeaks Testimony
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawyers for U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning filed a motion in
federal court Wednesday asking for her release from a prison outside
Washington, D.C., where she's been jailed since March of last year for
refusing to cooperate in a federal grand jury investigation into Wiki
Leaks. Manning could be held as for as long as 18 months on contempt of
court charges.
