Media Protests Restrictions on Coverage of Manning Hearings

13.03.2012 11:38

ARLINGTON, Virginia — A broad coalition of media outlets sent a letter of protest to top Pentagon lawyer Jeh Johnson today, complaining that “the overwhelming majority of court records filed in [PFC Bradley] Manning’s court-martial have remained shielded from public view.” They say that the U.S. military’s “unnecessary degree of secrecy” has prevented journalists from adequately covering issues of considerable public interest.

Writing on behalf of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, Executive Director Lucy Dalglish urged the Defense Department to adopt at least the same level of media access as was recently extended to trials at Guantanamo Bay. She argued that these reforms are necessary “to ensure that military personnel tried stateside have the same rights to a public trial as those afforded accused terrorists.”
