On January 17, 2011, in Triangle Virginia protesters rallied at the main gate of Quantico Marine Corps base to demand the release of Bradley Manning, who has been held in solitary confinement for seven months following his May 27th arrest for his alleged involvement in the Wikileaks fiasco. Activists blocked half of the main road into the base and attempted to deliver a care package to Manning, which was denied by the base guards. Manning is charged with passing confidential information to Wikileaks, but he has yet to be tried or sentenced.
