Various protests and rallies were held around the world this past week and last weekend for Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier accused of leaking the embarrassing diplomatic cables, the classified documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the 'Collateral Murder' video to WikiLeaks.

On Sunday about 35 of the more than 400 people in attendance, including Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg and Retired Army Col. Ann Wright, were arrested while protesting outside the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, where Manning is being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day in a windowless 6-by-12-foot cell, shackled and forced to sleep either naked or in a suicide-proof smock due to supposed fears that he may commit suicide.

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Carlos Pascual, has resigned after the President of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, expressed his lack of trust in the diplomat and demanded his removal because of his comments in the leaked U.S. diplomatic cables that were published by WikiLeaks.

The cables written by Pascual and sent to Washington criticized the Mexican government’s anti-drug fight, criticised the Mexican authorities’ ability to tackle the country’s organised crime problem and angered President Calderon.
