In January 2011 Amnesty International asked the British government to intervene because of Manning's status as a British citizen by descent, although Manning's lawyer said Manning did not regard herself as a British citizen.
Amnesty International je početkom 2011. zatražio od britanske vlade da intervenira pošto jer je kao dijete Manning bila britanski državljanin, iako je Manningin odvjetnik izjavio da Manning sebe ne smatra britanskom državljankom.
