Chelsea Manning has been released after being jailed for contempt charges after refusing to answer questions by the federal grand jury over its WikiLeaks investigation.

Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been released from a northern Virginia jail after a two-month stay for refusing to testify to a grand jury.

Chelsea will continue to refuse to answer questions, and will use every available legal defense to prove to District Judge Trenga that she has just cause for her refusal to give testimony," the statement from her lawyers said. Former US President Barack Obama, in his final days in office, commuted the final 28 years of Manning’s 35-year sentence.
