His inhumane treatment violates his due process  rights and is cruel and unusual punishment.<\/p>\n<p>After providing detailed descriptions of his excellent behavior and  the positive reports he has received while detained at Quantico since  July 29, 2010, he contradicts the military\u2019s claim that he is being  treated just like any other prisoner.<\/p>\n<p><em>I am being treated differently from any other detainee at the  Quantico Brig. While the PCF Commander follows the recommendation of the  Brig Psychiatrist in dealing with other detainees, this does not happen  in my case. Other detainees usually remain on MAX custody or in POI  Status for about two weeks before they are downgraded. I, however, have  been left to languish under the unduly harsh conditions of MAX Custody  and POI Status since my arrival on 29 July 2010. In fact, I am currently  the only detainee being held under MAX Custody and the only detainee  being held in POI status by the Brig. Any objective person looking at  the above facts would have to conclude that this treatment is  unjustified. The determination to retain me in MAX Custody and under POI  Status after 27 August 2010 was improper and constitutes unlawful  pretrial punishment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There are two incidents that stand out above the daily abuse Manning  has received while being held in virtual solitary confinement for ten  months in pre-trial detention: being put on suicide watch and having his  clothes taken away from him.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/warisacrime.org\/content\/abusive-detention-bradley-manning\">Click here to continue reading, &#8220;The Abusive Detention of Bradley Manning&#8221; by Kevin Zeese<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Appeal of His Virtual Solitary Confinement Makes the Case of Inhuman Treatment by the Quantico Brig By Kevin Zeese Bradley Manning\u2019s appeal of the refusal to relax his conditions of confinement makes a strong case that he has been &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/?p=15244\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdXTf-3XS","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15244"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15244\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15247,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15244\/revisions\/15247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
