President Barack Obama has commuted the prison sentence of former army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, The New York Times reports. Manning has been serving a 35-year sentence in a military prison for leaking classified information on WikiLeaks. She was scheduled for release in 2045, but will now be free on May 17, 2017. Holly Herndon, Michael Stipe, Laura Jane Grace, and more have celebrated the decision. See their reactions below. In a statement, Stipe said, “Incredible courage on the part of both Obama and Chelsea Manning!! What a thrilling day for true patriots!!”

In 2010, Manning produced classified videos that included a U.S. helicopter attack that killed a dozen Iraqis, as well airstrikes in Afghanistan. There were also uninvestigated reports of casualties, torture, and corporate interest in international diplomacy. Speaking about Manning’s case, a White House spokesperson said, “Chelsea Manning is somebody who went through the military criminal justice process, was exposed to due process, was found guilty, was sentenced for her crimes, and she acknowledged wrongdoing.”

In September, Thurston Moore released a song called “Chelsea’s Kiss” in support of the campaign for Manning’s release. Upon sharing her “Obama” music video, Anohni implored the president “to let Chelsea Manning out of prison.” Anohni’s latest statement thanks the president, adding, “Your gracious family and attendance to reason will be sorely missed.”
