Paul Whelan describes 'torture' of Russian prison
Former Marine Paul Whelan described the “torture” he endured while being held captive in a Russian prison for years.
“The Russian government wanted to put pressure on the United States by treating me badly. Sleep deprivation is considered torture,” Whelan said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Whelan was part of a historic prisoner swap in August that also freed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
Whelan was arrested in 2018 and convicted of spying, charges that he and his family deny.
