MOSCOW. Feb 28 (Interfax) - The United States embassy in Moscow has said it sees "shameful treatment by Russian authorities" of Paul Whelan, who is facing charges of espionage in Russia.
"There's clearly NO crime and certainly NO justice. We repeat and repeat: this is shameful treatment by Russian authorities of a U.S. citizen," the embassy said on Twitter on Friday.
"Paul Whelan's spent 14 months in a Moscow prison. He's allowed NO outside medical care and NO phone calls to family. We've seen NO evidence," it said.
