WASHINGTON, May 14 (RIA Novosti) Transgender WikiLeaks contributor Chelsea Manning, imprisoned for disclosing classified US government documents, has been allowed by the Pentagon to transfer to a civilian prison to receive treatment for a gender disorder, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Manning's recent request for hormone therapy the first ever by a transgender inmate in history was granted in the Army's approval for a transfer, anonymous sources at the Defense Department told AP. <\/p>\n

Manning is currently serving her 35-year sentence in a Kansas military prison. <\/p>\n

While in prison, former US Army private Bradley Manning announced via a lawyer last summer that he was a female and changed his name. The US Army, which does not allow transgender soldiers, said it does not provide hormone replacement therapy or sex reassignment surgery for inmates. <\/p>\n

Manning, 26, was found guilty in July 2013 of multiple counts of espionage as well as theft and computer fraud connected to leaking volumes of classified US military documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, including war logs about US operations in Iraq and Afghanistan while he worked as an intelligence analyst in Iraq. <\/p>\n
