Today, I was finally told by an Amnesty USA employee (after she consulted with their “expert” on the case) that they have still not named Manning a Prisoner of Conscience (POC) but that Amnesty is “still investigating” if he qualifies. She added that Amnesty is not yet certain of two criteria that must be met
1) That Manning released information in a “responsible manner”
2) That the government has been punishing him in order to prevent
public knowledge of human rights abuses.
