[pp.int.general] Who forgot Bradley Manning?

[Dirk Poot - Secretaris Piratenpartij]

For what it's worth:

We from the Dutch Pirate Party also realized this when we ran across the announcement of a demonstration planned for may 28 in Berlin: http://www.freebradleymanning.de/?p=51
We have just released a press release calling for a demonstration in Amsterdam, Holland on the 28 of may as well. https://depiratenpartij.wordpress.com/2011/04/19/aankondiging-demonstratie-en-tweetup-bradley-manning-vrij/

Kind regards,

Dirk Poot
secretary a.i.
