Gilman en route to US military hospital in Texas
A former U.S. Marine held in Russia for more than four years on disputed charges has been released, his advocates said Tuesday.
Robert Gilman, a 32-year-old teacher detained since 2022, was on his way to a U.S. military hospital in Texas, according to Eric Lebson, chief strategy officer of Global Reach.
The announcement came days after advocates warned that Gilman was gravely ill and at risk of dying.
Gilman, a former Marine, had been detained in Russia since 2022 and held on disputed charges.
Global Reach has been working to free Gilman and other American detainees abroad.
