Pvt. Bradley Manning, the American soldier accused of transmitting tens of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, was forced to sleep naked during his incarceration at the military brig at Quantico, Virginia, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Manning's lawyer David Coombs said that the new conditions were imposed on Manning, 23, after he made a "sarcastic quip" about his confinement. Manning has been made to sleep wearing only boxer shorts as part of a "prevention of injury watch" during the eight months of his imprisonment. Last Wednesday, Manning was ordered to relinquish his boxer shorts too.

A US military spokesman insisted there was no intention to cause humiliation or embarrassment. Coombs, however, said he believed the order was "punitive".

泄密士兵被迫狱中裸睡

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道,被控向维基解密泄露数以万计机密文件的美国士兵布拉德利•曼宁被关押在弗吉尼亚州匡提科军事监狱,在此期间竟被强制裸睡。

       他的律师大卫•库姆斯表示,23岁的曼宁只是针对自己被囚说了些“带有讽刺意味的俏皮话”就受到了新的限制。为“防止其自残”,在被关押的8个月里,他睡觉时只能穿一条四脚内裤。上周三,还被要求褪去内裤。

       美国军方发言人坚称绝非有意让他受辱或难堪,而库姆斯则认为这种命令是带有“惩罚性”的。
