MOSCOW - A former U.S. Marine held in Russia on suspicion of spying is being illegally isolated in a Moscow pre-trial detention center and prevented from communicating with visitors, Russian rights activists and U.S. diplomats said.
Whelan, 49, who faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, believes he was framed and that the case against him is politically motivated revenge for U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia. “What are investigators hiding?” Kalan, who has previously complained about a lack of evidence in the case, wrote on Twitter.
“They consider that Paul might pass us a secret code,” Merkacheva wrote, saying Whelan’s cell door had been slammed in their face after he had addressed them in English.
