Chelsea Manning Facing Solitary for Expired Toothpaste, Magazine

HeadlineAug 13, 2015

Lawyers for U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning say she could face punishment of indefinite solitary confinement for having an expired tube of toothpaste, an issue of Vanity Fair in which transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner describes her new life living openly as a woman, the U.S. Senate report on torture and other “prohibited property” in her cell. She is also accused of “showing disrespect” for asking to see her lawyer in a discussion with a prison officer. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence for leaking U.S. government cables to WikiLeaks.
