Four Year Anniversary of Paul Whelan’s Wrongful Detention in Russia

F.P. Report

WASHINGTON: Today marks four years that Paul Whelan has spent wrongfully detained, away from his family, suffering through an unfathomable ordeal.

Russian authorities subjected him to a secret trial and sentenced him to 16 years in a Russian penal colony based on secret evidence.

His detention remains unacceptable, and we continue to press for his immediate release at every opportunity. I am committed to bringing home Paul and all U.S. hostages and wrongful detainees held around the world.

As the President said directly to the Whelan family, our efforts to secure Paul’s release will not cease until he is back home with his family where he belongs.
