Chelsea Manning's conviction    and 35-year prison sentence for giving reams of classified U.S.    government information to the WikiLeaks website, the Army said    Monday.  <\/p>\n<p>    The approval by Maj. Gen. Jeffery S. Buchanan, commander of the    Military District of Washington, clears the way for an    automatic appeal to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.  <\/p>\n<p>    Manning's appellate lawyers, Nancy Hollander and Vincent Ward,    told supporters Sunday in Washington that they expect to argue    that the sentence is unreasonable. It is the longest prison    term ever given by a U.S. court for leaking government secrets    to the media. They said they also expect to argue that    Manning's speedy trial rights were violated, that the Espionage    Act was misused and that high-ranking commanders improperly    influenced her case.  <\/p>\n<p>    The 26-year-old Crescent, Okla., native is serving her sentence    at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/nationworld\/ci_25566650\/chelsea-mannings-35-year-sentence-conviction-upheld?source=rss\/RS=^ADAvP_9OxoKXX.lpFAFSuJ607FTksU-\" title=\"Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence, conviction upheld\">Chelsea Manning's 35-year sentence, conviction upheld<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Manning An Army general has upheld Pfc. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chelsea-manning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
