Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has been taken to the hospital following a suicide attempt on Wednesday (March 11).

“There was an incident at approximately 12:11 p.m. today at the Alexandria Adult Detention Center involving inmate Chelsea Manning,” Sheriff Dana Lawhorne said in a statement to CBS News. “It was handled appropriately by our professional staff and Ms. Manning is safe.”

If you don’t know, Chelsea has been jailed since May of last year, after she refused to testify before a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks.

Chelsea was first convicted in 2013 for leaking classified government and military documents to WikiLeaks.

Former President Barack Obama cut Chelsea‘s sentence short back in 2017.

Chelsea Manning is in jail.

The 31-year-old activist and whistleblower was put in jail on Friday (March 8) after refusing to answer questions from a Virginia federal grand jury regarding the release of documents to WikiLeaks, NBC reports.

The judge told Chelsea she will remain in federal custody “until she purges or the end of the life of the grand jury” according to her representatives.

She previously told reporters she was prepared to go to prison because she doesn’t believe in the grand jury process.

“I responded to each question with the following statement: ‘I object to the question and refuse to answer on the grounds that the question is in violation of my First, Fourth, and Sixth Amendment, and other statutory rights. All of the substantive questions pertained to my disclosures of information to the public in 2010 — answers I provided in extensive testimony, during my court-martial in 2013,” she said in a statement.

Chelsea was previously sentenced under the Espionage and Computer Fraud and Abuse Acts and was supposed to spend 35 years in jail for releasing 750,000 documents to WikiLeaks. Three days before leaving office, President Barack Obama commuted her sentence in 2017.

Chelsea Manning rocks a bold red look on the cover of Dazed‘s spring 2019 issue, titled “Infinite Identities,” which takes a stand for the global creativity of the LGBTQIA+ communities.

Here’s what the 31-year-old former U.S. solider, military whistleblower, and trans woman had to share with the mag:

On the importance of not spending too much time on social media: “It creates these discrete stories which we’re bombarded with constantly. Everything feels like it’s chaos, and it’s designed to be this way… That’s one reason why I’ve taken a step back from social media, because it really engages with this, and it’s a continuum. It’s bombarding our senses with this [idea] that we are alone and overwhelmed. It feels like your world is ending. If we just take a step away from our screens and realize we have communities, then we might be able to build up, and fight back.”

On being called a hero: “You know, there are some people who call me a hero. They say the leaks changed this, and they accomplished these things. But things are worse now. Even worse than they were in 2010.”

On living up to expectations: “I’m never gonna live up to everybody’s expectations in this regard. It’s exhausting. I f–k up; I mess up a lot in my life in general, and that’s just like basic stuff. Basic life things I’ve had to learn. I never had my own place. In the last year I’ve lived on my own for the first time, learning how to build credit, how to have an apartment, how to pay rent on time, how to consistently clean.”

Out magazine has released their annual Out 100 list with actor Jonathan Groff, former soldier Chelsea Manning, actress/producer/writer Lena Waithe, and fashion designer Shayne Oliver on the four covers!

Here’s what they shared with the mag:

Chelsea, on the transgender bathroom bill: “The bathroom bill has turned into a battleground, but trans people didn’t start that battle�”it wasn’t an issue until it was turned into one, and it’s a way to undermine our ability to even exist.”

Lena, on winning a comedy writing Emmy: “If I wasn’t a queer black woman, I don’t know if I would have been standing on that stage. I hoped that they could see through me that when you tell your story, when you live your authentic life, only good things will come from it.”

Shayne, on being different: “The idea is that I’m different than you, and you have to respect it. As opposed to, I’m different and I’m also the same as you.”

Jonathan, on the benefit of coming out: “I think one of the benefits of being out is that you can share your stories, be who you are, and put yourself in the work regardless.”
