Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. soldier who transferred classified information to WikiLeaks, may be banned from entering Australia for an upcoming speaking tour.

Suzi Jamil, the organizer of Manning's tour, says she has received a notice from the government that it is considering cancelling her visa.

Under Australian law, all non-citizens can be barred from entering the country if they fail to meet the criteria to pass a character test.

Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst, was sentenced to 35 years in prison in 2013 for releasing more than 700,000 secret military documents, battlefield videos and diplomatic cables to the anti-secrecy website.

Manning is scheduled to speak in three Australian cities before traveling to New Zealand for speaking engagements, but that country's center -right opposition National Party is demanding she be denied entry as well.
