Video Shows American Paul Whelan Inside Russian Prison

New video was released earlier today showing American Paul Whalin inside a Russian prison camp. Whale has been held inside the Russian prison for the last four years on espionage charges. The video was released by state controlled media outlet Russia today and shows whale wearing a prison uniform eating at a cafeteria and using a sewing machine. Whale was detained in December of 2018 at a Moscow Hotel. Russian officials allege he was involved in an intelligence operation. The former US Marine has denied the espionage charges against him. Whale's brother David said this today was the first time I've seen what he really looks like since June 2020. The Biden administration has so far been unable to secure Whale's release.
