Lunchtime event

Sponsored by Bethan Jenkins AM

Chair of the Cross-Party Group on Human Rights and Peace

Come and meet with Chase Mader, author of The Passion of Bradley Manning, the true story of the Haverfordwest-schooled US soldier who faces life imprisonment for leaking half a million classified documents to Wikileaks. Chase Madar is a Lawyer and contributor to The London Review of Books & Le Monde Diplomatique

Bradley Manning will go on trial on June 3, having already spent three years in prison without trial, and could spend the rest of his days behind bars without any hope of parole, for revealing information to the public about the US wars, torture and other human rights abuses.

Chase is in the UK at this crucial time to promote his book and discuss the issues surrounding Bradley Manning’s trial. The meeting has been arranged with Wise Up Action, the group that followed the National Theatre of Wales’ production, The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, providing workshops and other activities tied into the case.

Chase will be speaking in the Media Briefing Room, in the Senedd, from midday to 1.30pm on Thursday, May 9.

This event is free—all members of the public and media are welcome.
