We are deeply saddened to hear that Chelsea Manning tried to take her own life. She
would have preferred to keep this news about her health to herself, and
focus on recovery, but the government decided to violate her privacy
and release information about her hospitalisation.So, she wants to let all her friends and supporters know that she is okay, 'glad to be alive' and 'will get through this'.
Chelsea is one of the world's most famous whistleblowers, a leading voice on transgender rights and a hugely brave human being. She is currently serving a 35-year sentence for leaking secret files
to Wikileaks that appeared to reveal human rights abuses committed by US
forces and their allies. Abuses that without her the public would not
know about. Despite identifying as female and winning the right to hormone therapy last year, she is held in an all-male prison.
