American Teacher Held in Russia Fights for Life | Durham News
Description
A U.S. teacher held captive in Russia for over four years is now in critical condition, unresponsive for 47 days and hooked up to a feeding tube while handcuffed to his bed. His family fears he may die in custody as tensions between Washington and Moscow escalate. Gilman’s ordeal began after a minor brush with police, which spiraled into vague charges, alleged torture, and multiple prison convictions—culminating in a decade-long sentence. Despite pleading guilty to some charges to stay put, U.S. officials are urgently pushing for his release on humanitarian grounds, while Russia remains silent on his deteriorating health.
