The Kremlin announced that former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman, who had been detained in Russia for more than four years, has been freed on a humanitarian basis. The decision followed concerns raised by his family and a U.S. advocacy group that Gilman was in dire physical condition while imprisoned. He is expected to return to the United States.
According to the New York Times World News, Russian authorities cited humanitarian grounds for the release, though they did not specify the legal circumstances. Deutsche Welle reported that Gilman will be transported back to the U.S. after his release, and The Times of Israel noted that the decision follows a prolonged detention. The family had repeatedly expressed that Gilman was in dire physical condition, a claim echoed by the advocacy group, prompting the Kremlin’s action.
Gilman’s case has drawn international attention to the treatment of American citizens in Russian prisons and to the broader geopolitical tensions between the United States and Russia.
