The former US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning has spoken in Wellington about the time she began to realise that people were behind the data she worked with and how this changed her thinking. Ms Manning spent seven years behind bars after leaking hundreds of thousands of documents about America's involvement in the Iraq war to WikiLeaks. She told an audience at the Embassy Theatre in Wellington why she decided to act.
