It back to the big house for former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.
This will be the second stint in prison that Manning will serve after previously being incarcerated for making one of the largest data leaks in U.S. history to Wikileaks.
However this instance will be different in that the sentence is the direct result of Manning refusing to cooperate with an investigating grand jury by providing testimony.
“I will not participate in a secret process that I morally object to, particularly one that has been used to entrap and persecute activists for protected political speech,” Manning said in a statement after her arrest.
U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton handed down the sentencing that Manning be kept incarcerated until she testifies or the grand jury finishes its investigation.
