A federal judge ruled that former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning will be held in jail until she testifies before a grand jury or that grand jury is no longer operating.
Chelsea Manning leaves the Albert V. Bryan U.S. District Courthouse in Alexandria, Va., on March 5.
Most of the hearing at which prosecutors argued for Manning to be held in contempt was sealed, but the court was open to the public for Judge Claude Hilton's ruling."I've found you in contempt," Hilton said. He ordered her to custody immediately,"either until you purge yourself or the end of the life of the grand jury."
Manning's attorney, Moira Meltzer-Cohen, said it would be"an act of tremendous cruelty" to send the transgender ex-private to jail given medical and safety concerns.
