Boston, September 18 (RHC)-- In the United States, Harvard University has canceled an offer that would make U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning a visiting fellow, after CIA Director Mike Pompeo called Manning an "American traitor" and canceled a planned appearance on campus.

In response, Chelsea Manning tweeted: "Honored to be 1st dis-invited trans woman visiting @harvard fellow ... they chill marginalized voices under @cia pressure … #WeGotThis."

The Obama administration prosecuted Chelsea Manning under the Espionage Act after she revealed secrets of the U.S. State Department and Pentagon -- including evidence of war crimes and support for U.S. allies committing torture -- to WikiLeaks.
