Convicted leaker Chelsea Manning has been released from prison after serving months on a contempt of court charge after refusing to testify in front of a grand jury investigating Wikileaks editor Julian Assange.

Manning “was remanded for refusing to testify in an inquiry into Wikileaks. She had been held in a detention center in Virginia since last May,” according to the BBC, which also noted that Manning has been charged a daily fine and the sum total Manning now owes is over a quarter million dollars.
