"His message, his statement, is so powerful, and it feels to me that he is not broken. And that shows what an extraordinary person he is." said Birgitta Jonsdottir at the Bradley Manning event yesterday, and received an applause for the audience. She continued "And I truly think that one of the reasons that he is not broken is because he knows of all of us out here that are fighting for him".
Birgitta Jonsdottir, Wikileaks volunteer, member of the Icelandic Pirate Party and member of the Icelandic parliament, is currently in the US to show support for Bradley Manning. The Bradley Manning event was held yesterday at the Judson Memorial Church in New York, on Friday April 5th.

Daniel Ellsberg and Michael Moore invite you to a Bradley Manning event with Birgitta Jonsdottir
On Friday April 5th, we invite you to an evening of art and discussion to sow the seeds of resistance against illegal imperialist wars, and to discuss the present state of free speech and freedom of the press. Your presence at Judson Memorial Church would send a clear signal that we the people value truth and stand against the unbelievable lack of ethics and accountability this, and other leaks, consistently reveal.
Doors will open at 5:30 PM, for two hours of drinks, refreshments, and artwork , including stills from Collateral Murder, art prints by Molly Crabapple, and Laura Poitras's five-minute documentary.
Then at 8 PM, we'll move to a discussion among Birgitta, independent journalist Alexa O'Brien, FireDogLake's Kevin Gosztola, and FAIR media critic Peter Hart, moderated by Sam Seder.
