Bradley Manning is in his sixth month of severe isolation. He still has severe restrictions on his social contact, freedom to exercise, and ability to sleep - far beyond those of other prisoners in the same brig.
You're one of more than 30,000 people who signed our letter to the commanding officer asking for humane treatment for Bradley. This weekend, we're delivering your letter to the Quantico Marine brig.
Can you please ask your family and friends to sign our letter urging for Bradley Manning to be treated humanely? This is your last chance!

The LA Times described the conditions in which Pfc. Bradley Manning is imprisoned while he waits for a trial as "inhumane" and "indefensible." And a former Marine Captain at the Quantico marine brig where Manning is detained said he "seriously doubts that the conditions of [Manning's] confinement are … necessary, customary, or in accordance with law, US or international.
No matter what you think of Bradley Manning's alleged crimes, the conditions in which he is held are far beyond accepted practices, and possibly beyond what the law allows.
With your help, we'll send a strong message that Bradley Manning should be treated with basic rights and dignity.
Thanks for all you do.
