#105 - The leaks of Chelsea Manning - Alexa O Jung & Naiv (English Episode)
Politics for the indifferent
from the 30th Chaos Communication Congress 30c3 -
Alexa was one of the very few reporters at the military trial of Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning).
Manning leaked US military and state documents to Wikileaks in 2010 and was sentenced to 35 years in prison this year.
Alexa calls the trial "unfair and unjust". What were those leaks about exactly?
How did the US government treat its whistleblowing prisoner?
Why does a person who exposes war crimes go to jail while the war criminals do not?
I asked Alexa about it.
