“A separate statement released by Amnesty International on Tuesday urged Obama to take a sympathetic stance towards Manning and grant clemency, saying the soldier’s sentence was a ‘blight on the US human rights record.’ ‘President Obama should grant Manning clemency for time served, protect whistleblowers, and provide accountability for crimes like those Manning exposed,’ Amnesty said. The rights group noted that Manning’s sentence ‘contrasts with the leniency given those responsible for torture and other types of grave human rights violations’ revealed by the soldier’s disclosures.”
