WikiLeaks, Chelsea Manning orders release of US military secrets
An American judge has ordered the immediate release of former military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning from prison.Manning was jailed for refusing to testify in a WikiLeaks investigation. She was detained in the US state of Virginia since May 2019.
Chelsea were to appear before the court on Friday, but the judge decided they did not have to testify.
Chelsea was convicted in 2013 of various charges, including espionage, for leaking secret military documents to WikiLeaks.He was fined more than two and a half million dollars for refusing to contribute to the inquiry. His legal team applied for a penalty waiver, but the judge ordered him to pay the entire amount.

"Our expert staff handled the incident appropriately and they are now safe," according to a police statement.
In 2010, Chelsea leaked thousands of US military documents related to the Afghan war. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison, but former President Obama waived his remaining sentence in 2017.
