Chelsea Manning Is Expected to Leave Prison, 28 Years Early
WASHINGTON
— Chelsea Manning is expected to walk freely out of the military prison
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., on Wednesday, bringing to a close one of the
most extraordinary criminal cases in American history over the leaking
of government secrets to the public.
Sentenced to an unprecedented 35-year prison term
for disclosing archives of secret files to WikiLeaks, Ms. Manning spent
about seven years in prison — already double the second-longest
sentence in any leak case. She is set to be freed 28 years early because
President Barack Obama, in one of his final acts, commuted the bulk of her remaining sentence.
Both
the military and Ms. Manning’s legal team, seeking to avoid a media
circus, disclosed few details about her release and immediate plans. The
military would not say what time she would depart and said it would not
permit reporters to wait near the gate to the prison barracks complex.
