UN torture expert Juan Mendez may not meet with the imprisoned soldier Bradley
Manning, who is accused of leaking secret documents to Wikileaks, as a couple.
The U.S. military just join in supervised meetings, Mendez says infringe on the privacy
needed to interview the prisoners for torture.
Manning's attorney has said that his client is locked up 23 hours a day, forced to sleep
naked, and brought several times a night.

The mother is suspected of having bitten her sons cheek hard enough to leave bite marks, as well
as threatening to throw him from a balcony unless he urinated as instructed, according to reports in
local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda.
She has also repeatedly called the boy stupid, disgusting and worthless, reported the newspaper.
These attacks against her son allegedly began two years ago, in June 2010, when the boy was just
two years old, and have continued until the present day.
According to prosecutor Anna Karlsson, the womans treatment of her son is a repeated violation
which has damaged his self-esteem.
Ten people will be testifying against the woman, who is in her mid-twenties.

One of the witnesses reports that the young boy has told her that his mother is mean.
In the courtroom, a video interview with the four year-old will also be presented, reported Nerikes
Allehanda.
The charges against the mother have been labeled as gross violation of integrity.
