Chelsea Manning is back behind bars and faces a daily fine after a US judge found her guilty of contempt of court for refusing to give evidence before a grand jury.

She was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury hearing evidence collected by prosecutors who have for years been investigating WikiLeaks, and who recently unsealed a criminal indictment against its founder, Julian Assange.Manning refused to testify and earlier this year was jailed for 62 days for contempt of court.

US District Judge Anthony Trenga sent her back to jail on Thursday and said that if she did not comply with the subpoena she would after 30 days be fined $US500 a day. If she continued to refuse to testify after 60 days the fine would go up to $US1,000 a day, a law enforcement official and a spokesman for her attorneys said."Attempting to coerce me with a grand jury subpoena is not going to work. I will not cooperate with this or any other grand jury," Manning said before entering the courthouse for the hearing.

Shoot it

What no pardon from Trumpy?

What happened to the right to remain silent? Or that just in the movies?

And we are sharing values with US And US is our best ally And US policing the world And US installing democratic regimes

Her arrogance is outstanding

Better jail that capitolate to the corrupted system that negate justice to who denunce wrong doing & left possible criminal including war one free.

It’s her choice not to testify. It’s the court’s choice to jail her for such.

Stick to your 'guns' girl. What may or may not come out of your mouth is the last weapon in your arsenal, and no-one can take it away from you.

He's already testified that Assage wasn't involved when originally caught, US tyranny at its finest
