“We are deeply concerned about Robert Gilman’s health and continued detention,” the State Department said in a statement. He was detained for allegedly kicking a police officer while drunk, according to Russian state media. The officer was uninjured, dropped the charges, and did not present evidence in Robert Gilman’s trial, he wrote. Reuters could not learn why the State Department has not made that designation. Russian state media reported that Robert Gilman’s sentence was extended in 2024 to 10 years for allegedly assaulting prison staff.
