Chelsea E. Manning @xychelsea tomorrow i'm facing a sealed contempt hearing for refusing to testify at a secret grand jury over my 2010 disclosures statement: "On Friday, I will return to federal court in Alexandria, Virginia for a closed contempt hearing. A judge will consider the legal grounds for my refusal to answer questions in front of a grand jury. The court may find me in contempt, and order me to jail "Yesterday, I appeared before a secret grand jury after being given immunity for my testimony. All of the substantive questions pertained to my disclosures of information to the public in 2010-answers I provided in extensive testimony, during my court-martial in 2013. responded to each question with the following statement:I object to the question and refuse to answer on the grounds that the question is in violation of my First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendment, and other statutory rights. "In solidarity with many activists facing the odds, I will stand by my principles. I will exhaust every legal remedy available. My legal team continues to challenge the secrecy of these proceedings, and I am prepared to face the consequences of my refusal. Chelsea resists Chelsea Manning 9:47 AM- 7 Mar 2019

Chelsea E. Manning @xychelsea ** Chelsea was taken into custody today for resisting a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia Chelsea provided the following statement: I will not comply with this, or any other grand jury. Imprisoning me for my refusal to answer questions only subjects me to stated ethical objections to the grand jury system. l punishment for my repeatedly- The grand jury's questions pertained to disclosures from nine years ago, and took place six years after an in-depth computer forensics case, in which I tesified for almost a full day about these events. I stand by my previous public testimony. I will not participate in a secret process that I morally object to, particularly one that has been historically used to entrap and persecute activists for protected political speech.
