Event Summary

Former U.S. Marine Robert Gilman, serving a long prison sentence in Russia, has been admitted to a hospital in Russia — Voronezh, according to Kommersant newspaper. His lawyer stated he is receiving treatment but a diagnosis is not yet available. The U.S. State Department confirmed it is providing consular assistance. Gilman was first jailed in 2022 for assaulting a police officer while drunk, with subsequent convictions extending his sentence to a total of 10 years. His supporters claim he was ill at the time of arrest and provoked into further incidents. A court in Russia — Voronezh postponed a hearing on a prosecutor's appeal due to his unspecified illness. Gilman is reportedly one of nine Americans jailed in Russia that Washington seeks to have released.
