Julian Assange to Accept Time in US Prison if Chelsea Manning Granted
Clemency
By teleSUR
15 September 16
Manning is serving a 35-year sentence in a military prison.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange offered to turn himself over to the United
States and serve a prison sentence if President Barack Obama pardons Chelsea
Manning, the whistleblower who leaked military and diplomatic documents
while working as an intelligence analyst in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad in
2010.
"If Obama grants Manning clemency, Assange will agree to US prison in
exchange -- despite its clear unlawfulness," WikiLeaks tweeted Thursday.
Manning was jailed in a military prison in Fort Leavenworth in Kansas
shortly after being sentenced to 35 years in August 2013. A year later a
U.S. Army rejected a request for clemency.
For his part Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London
since June 2012 when he secured political asylum from Quito to block
potential extradition to the United States.
