Restore the United States’ human rights record and grant clemency to Pvt. Bradley Manning!

[DreamGypsy]

Another petition on WhiteHouse.gov -Restore the United States’ human rights record and grant clemency to Pvt. Bradley Manning!:

The prosecution of Bradley Manning starkly contrasts to the US govt's repeated failure to deliver justice for serious human rights violations committed during counter-terror operations of the past decade.

Manning, who released classified information exposing potential breaches of international humanitarian law by US forces, was sentenced in military court on Aug 21st to 35 yrs in prison.

Manning's severe sentence contrasts with the leniency given those responsible for torture and other types of grave human rights violations he revealed.

To reduce this blight on the US human rights record, President Obama should grant Manning clemency for time served, protect whistleblowers, and provide accountability for crimes like those Manning exposed.

After I signed: Signatures needed by September 20, 2013 to reach goal of 100,000 - 98,439

DU could do this.

(This petition has a little more traction than the one posted a bit earlier by Catherina http://sync.democraticunderground.com/10023505606 which has 32 signatures. But no problem in signing both.)
