TO SUPPORT BRADLEY MANNING'S WALES BASED FAMILY SUPPORT BRADLEY MANNING<br />
<br />
Today, August 13th., members of the Manning family will be testifying in the sentencing phase of Bradley's <br />
court martial.<br />
As far as we are aware they have received ZERO financial support they have received from any British or Irish <br />
anti-war & other "NGO" organisations<br />
<br />
The U.S. organisation Courage to Resist has fund raised for Bradley's legal defense. More info here....<br />

<br />
Bradley Manning has been in prison without sentencing for 1175 days. <br />
He is 33 days into court martial. <br />
Bradley Manning's grandfather was born in Dublin.<br />
Bradley Manning was shipped through Shannon Airport to te war in Iraq.<br />
The last place Bradley Manning before he saw war & prison was Co. Clare, Ireland<br />
<br />
Over the past 3 years, members of Bradley's Welsh family have self funded their trips to the <br />
U.S. to visit Bradley in pre-trial detention including one visit while he was being tortured in Quantico. <br />
We want to support them to support Brad, by contributing towards the cost of their future visits.<br />

<!--- RECENT INITIATIVES<br />
- A Tottenham crew are organising a fund raising gig in the near future at "Tottenham Chances" club<br />
- A priest approached me yesterday to say he was approaching his religious order to make a donation<br />
fo the fund.<br />
<br />
OUR CONTACT WITH THE WALES BASED MANNING FAMILY<br />
The cash we have raised thus far will be handed over to a Welsh activist today who will take it to the family.<br />
We do not wish to put the family under any extra stress, we will continue to communicate with the family<br />
solely through this one mutually rusted Wales based activist.<br />
It is unwise for you to make direct electronic contact with the family.<br />
In my experience, this situation is a bit like a death in a custody situation, where well meaning &<br />
opportunistic activists can swamp an inexperienced (activist wise) family in grief and cause damage.<br />
Best to go through a trusted intermediary to offer support.<br />
<br />
There has been an unfortunate history at the outset of opportunistic approaches to the family by both media <br />
& activists that did much damage. We wish to repair that sensitively and avoid repetition. <br />
Bradley's mother was (pretty much) raided by the F.B.I. following his arrest in Iraq.<br />
She has suffered 2 strokes before his arrest and is not in the fullness of health.<br />
She has only 2 weeks ago undertaken her first media interview<br />
