Bring Paul Whelan back from Russia.
Bring Paul Whelan back from Russia.
The Issue
In recent news of WNBA star Brittney Griner being released from Russian detention.
Griner was released in a prisoner swap that involved Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. The exchange, however, did not include another American that the State Department has declared wrongfully detained, Paul Whelan.
On December 28, 2018, Whelan was arrested in the Moscow area by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), which later confirmed his arrest. Whelan's twin brother David said Whelan arrived in Moscow on December 22 to attend the wedding of a former fellow Marine at the Hotel Metropol Moscow and to assist the groom's family members on their first visit to Russia, a country he had visited many times. He said his brother planned to return to Michigan on January 6, 2019, via Saint Petersburg.
It's time for our Country to show they care about our US Soldiers. Please sign to help raise awareness to our Government.
