Chelsea Manning, the transgender army private jailed for one of the largest leaks of classified documents in US history, was released from prison today, a US Army spokeswoman tells AFP.
Manning “has been released from the United States Disciplinary Barracks” at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, spokeswoman Cynthia Smith says in a brief statement.
Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning, was sentenced to 35 years prison for the leak, but was released after seven years thanks to a commutation of her sentence by president Barack Obama before he left office.
