MOSCOW. Dec 27 (Interfax) - Diplomats of the Russian embassy to the United States have visited Russian citizen Maria Butina in the U.S. jail, the embassy said.
"The Russian citizen has already spent 36 straight days under administrative segregation regime. All together she has spent over 3 months in complete isolation. Maria Butina complained that it was too cold in her cell - the prison authorities never turned the heat on," it said.
"We urged the prison authorities to show Maria Butina humane treatment," the diplomatic mission said.
"Despite harsh detention conditions, Maria Butina holds up strong and does not give up hope to return home and reunite with her family," it said.
