2011-04-04 WikiLeaks Notes: UK Parliament to debate treatment of Bradley Manning

At the end of today's sitting, the UK Parliament at Westminster will debate the treatment of Bradley Manning, a debate that will be opened by Ann Clwyd (Labour-Cynon Valley).

Clwyd has raised Manning's plight and the concern for him of her constituents in Wales before in committee and in the Commons, and has received considered and relatively positive responses from both the foreign secretary and the leader in the Commons, as we reported here. Manning's mother is a Welsh citizen of the UK.

No time is given for the start of the debate. It is scheduled to go on until 10:30 pm or for half an hour, whichever is later.
