Back to the slammer almost immediately after release, serving two months in the Alexandria, VA jail for refusing to testify before a Grand Jury. After the
\nGrand Jury’s term expired, prosecutors quickly issued a subpoena for Manning to testify at the new Grand Jury, and the Judge imposed fines this time for failing to testify.<\/p>\n

The term of this Grand Jury is 18 months- that and the very real bite of the fines imposed will be a test of Manning’s commitment to protesting the Grand Jury process.<\/p>\n

\nALEXANDRIA, Va. \u2014 Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning was ordered back to jail Thursday for refusing to testify to a grand jury, even after telling a judge she\u2019d rather \u201cstarve to death\u201d than cooperate with prosecutors.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga ordered her to remain incarcerated at the Alexandria jail either until she agrees to testify or until the grand jury’s term expires in 18 months. He also imposed fines that will kick in at $500 a day after 30 days and $1,000 a day after 60 days.<\/p>\n

Manning already spent two months in jail for refusing a previous subpoena to testify to a grand jury investigating Wikileaks. She was released last week when that grand jury\u2019s term expired, but prosecutors quickly hit her with a new subpoena to testify to a new grand jury.<\/p>\n

Manning has offered multiple reasons for refusing to testify, but fundamentally says she considers the whole grand jury process to be unacceptable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This whole woe-is-me show of Manning suffering from self-inflicted wounds is pretty stale by now. I’ll bet Manning “makes a statement” by going to jail, and then agrees to testify just before the Judge’s fines kick in. Thanks again to Rod for the link.
