Thirty held at WikiLeaks detention demo

Hundreds of people have rallied outside a US military base where an army private is being detained on charges of providing classified data to WikiLeaks.

About 30 people were arrested by police in riot gear after they refused to vacate a road junction in front of the entrance to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The rally was held along with more than two dozen others around the world to protest against Bradley Manning detention in Quantico’s jail.
