Whelan speaks of life in Russian labor camp
The 50-year-old Whelan, giving his first detailed
interview since his arrest in December 2018, said he was spending his
days sewing prison uniforms in the camp “workhouse” and is taking “one
day at a time” — not focusing on his 16-year sentence on espionage
charges that he has always rejected.
Prison guards are waking him at night every two hours to
take his photograph, he said....
A Russian court
found ex-U.S. marine Paul Whelan guilty of spying for the United
States on Monday and sentenced him to 16 years. He was arrested in

Russia Jails US Marine Veteran for 9 Years over Police
Assault
30 Jul 2020
Agence France Presse | By
Maria Panina
A Russian court on Thursday sentenced former U.S.
Marine Trevor Reed to nine years in prison for assaulting police
officers while drunk. His conviction follows the high-profile
trial of another former U.S. Marine, Paul Whelan, last month on
espionage charges in a case that has fuelled speculation of a
prisoner exchange with the United States...
Reed has been
held in a Moscow prison in pre-trial detention since August 2019.
