The convicted informant WikiLeaks Manning decided to increase his chest at his own expense

Former American army employee Bradley Manning, sentenced to 35 years in prison for the transfer of WikiLeaks of military documents, is ready to pay for himself hormone therapy for breast augmentation, AP reports.

He announced that he feels like a woman and would like to enlarge her breasts, last week, almost immediately after imprisonment. He asks to call himself the female name Chelsea, however, according to his lawyer David Kumbs, he is not going to do the operation to change the floor. He also expects him to be left in a male prison.

The independent decision of the issue of the issue of manning prompted a statement by the representative of the penitentiary institution Kimberly Lewis that the prison would not pay him hormone therapy. In addition, on the Internet, people protested against embezzlement for such treatment of taxpayers' money. Manning knew that the army could not pay him hormonal treatment, but hoped that he would be helped in prison, since the army psychiatrist who diagnosed him with a sexual identification disorder testified to this in court.

"This was Chelsea's intention over the past time. After they said hormone therapy in the Fort Lienewoort prison, we decided not to wait anymore," the lawyer explained. Kumbs hoped that the prison leadership “simply will do the right thing”, and his client would not need to file a lawsuit against a military or civilian court.

Hormonal therapy provides for the use of large doses of the hormone estrogen with the aim, in particular, breast augmentation. “This is so that she feels comfortable in her body,” the lawyer explained. In his opinion, the need for manning for treatment is no worse than the same need for suffering from hypertension. He also said that as the second name, his client chose Elizabeth - instead of Edward.

The representative of the penitentiary institution George Marquez noted that the leadership has the opportunity to isolate prisoners if co -living with other prisoners can cause a threat to their life or health. At the same time, he stated that in prison to manning would not allow you to wear a wig or bra, and his hair should be trimmed in accordance with the norms of the charter, RIA Novosti notes.

Former Private First Class of the United States Bradley Bradley Manning transferred Wikileaks more than 700 thousand military and diplomatic documents, as well as video files regarding the US military operation in Iraq in 2009-2010. This was the largest leakage of secret information in the history of the United States.

The US military court on August 21 sentenced him to 35 years in prison. The court also decided to dismiss the convicted person from the armed forces and deprive him of part of the military salary over the past few years. He will be able to claim early release to the convicted person who is now 25 years old.
