FOX NEWS CHANNEL BREAKING RUSSIA FREES EX-U.S. MARINE ROBERT GILMAN AFTER 1,666 DAYS DETAINED

Original caption

BREAKING: Marine veteran Robert Gilman has been released after spending 1,666 days detained by the Russian government. Gilman, who had been jailed since 2022 and was considered wrongfully detained by the U.S., was released Tuesday after Russian President Vladimir Putin granted him a humanitarian pardon. The former Marine was arrested for allegedly kicking a police officer while drunk, according to Russian state media, but his family maintains that the charges are false. Gilman was initially sentenced to several years behind bars before additional convictions while in custody ultimately increased his sentence to 10 years. His release came as concerns mounted over his deteriorating health.
