Chelsea Manning calls on Obama's 'shortlist' for clemency
Whistleblower Chelsea Manning, the US soldier who leaked state secrets to Wikileaks in 2010, is reportedly on outgoing President Barack Obama's 'shortlist' for commutation of her 35-year prison sentence. Manning has claimed that this is her last chance for freedom "for a very long time". Interestingly, Julian Assange has agreed to be extradited to the US if Manning gets clemency.
