Imprisoned Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning is recovering in a hospital after attempting to kill herself Wednesday, her legal team said. “On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, Chelsea Manning attempted to take her own life,” a statement said. “She was taken to a hospital and is currently recovering.”The revelation comes two days before Manning, a former Army intelligence analyst, is scheduled to appear before a judge ruling on a motion to terminate the sanctions she’s facing for refusing to testify in an investigation into WIkiLeaks. Manning has previously indicated that she will not betray her principles, even at risk of grave harm to herself,” her legal team said.
