Free Bradley Manning - Advocacy Badge for Wikileaks Whistleblower #2254670 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a high-contrast, monochrome circular badge depicting Chelsea Manning (then known as Bradley Manning) in U.S. Army uniform with a beret, framed by bold text reading “FREE BRADLEY MANNING” at the top and “Accused Wikileaks whistle-blower” at the bottom. The design evokes protest iconography, combining portraiture with activist messaging to emphasize themes of government accountability and press freedom. It circulated globally during the 2010-2013 legal proceedings and became a symbol of digital-age whistleblowing.

Used on activist websites, social media campaigns, protest materials, and news articles covering Manning’s court-martial and imprisonment; targets users seeking information about whistleblowing, civil liberties, or U.S. military transparency.
