Russia frees imprisoned US Marine over health concerns

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

Russia freed former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman upon the urging of U.S. officials so he could receive medical care in the United States. Gilman, 32, was released after 1,666 days in prison, having been arrested on Jan. 17, 2022. He was arrested on charges of allegedly kicking a police officer while drunk, which his family disputes. Eric Lebson, chief strategy officer of Global Reach, an advocacy group for Americans imprisoned abroad representing Gilman's family, said he had been subjected to "harsh and abusive treatment," which was believed to have led to his ailing state. The group added that he was going to be flown to a military hospital in Texas, where he was to be medically and psychologically evaluated. In a statement issued through the group, Gilman's sister, Lexie Hudson, thanked President Donald Trump, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), and Global Reach for their efforts to free her brother.
