'Manning trial exposes attack on press freedom'





Published on Jun 3, 2013

The trial of the American whistleblower Bradley Manning, who handed classified military data to Wikileaks, takes place on Monday in Maryland. The army private faces a list of charges - among them aiding the enemy - which could land him in prison for the rest of his life.

Wikileaks spokesman, Kristinn Hrafnsson, says the clampdown on freedom of speech in US, will not stop people from blowing the whistle on the government's wrongdoings.
