OSLO, Norway—A gay U.S. Army private who allegedly leaked thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks is among those who have been nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.
Pink News reported a group of Icelandic parliamentarians, the Pirates of the EU, members of the Swedish Pirate Party and a former Tunisian government minister nominated Bradley Manning. The group said in a statement his alleged actions, among other things, “helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements.”
Manning, 25, on Feb. 28 pleaded guilty to 10 charges of misusing classified information. He faces 12 other counts that include “aiding the enemy.”
Manning’s trial is scheduled to begin on June 3.
