Marine Veteran Released from Russian Detention | Boston News

A U.S. Marine veteran, Robert Gilman, detained in Russia since 2022 and allegedly tortured to near death, has been released after a high-stakes diplomatic effort by the State Department. Non-ambulatory and reportedly catatonic, he’s en route to military medical care. His family feared the worst, recalling Otto Warmbier’s tragic fate; his mother was denied access. Advocates insist Gilman fell ill at a Moscow airport and was assaulted—not intoxicated—by police. His release brings relief but underscores the perilous risks Americans face abroad—and the urgent need to secure others still held captive.
