A US judge has ordered the immediate release of former intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning from prison.
Manning had been remanded for contempt of court and has been held in detention in Virginia since last May.
She was scheduled to appear in court on Friday, but the judge ruled that it was no longer necessary for her to testify in the inquiry into Wikileaks.
Manning was found guilty in 2013 of charges including espionage for leaking secret military files to Wikileaks.

Something weird going on here. He/she has an apparent suicide attempt, and is released from prison. Not the smartest move for someone who is mentally unstable.
He/She should have been sent to the chair ten minutes after the upload to Wikileaks
