According to his brother, a fellow prisoner assaulted Paul Whelan. They were involved in a work operation when the assaulter was holding up the process. Whelan asked the other prisoner to move so that everybody else could continue with the operation, but he refused. This resulted in the assailant attacking Whelan.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to the report, the incident was recorded through video surveillance, and an investigation is being conducted for review by police in Mordovia.<\/p>\n<p>The Whelan family said Paul was assaulted at a labor camp on Tuesday afternoon. David Whelan said his brother was working at a sewing table when a new inmate blocked part of the production line and Paul asked him to move out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After repeated requests, the prisoner hit Paul in the face, breaking Paul&#8217;s glasses in the process, and attempted to hit him a second time,&#8221; David Whelan said in an email statement. &#8220;Paul stood up to block the second hit and other prisoners intervened to prevent the prisoner continuing to attack Paul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>David Whelan said his brother has asked local prosecutors to investigate the alleged attack.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is also concerned that these sorts of attacks can occur any time and, due to the various sharp implements in the workshop including the shears the other prisoner was holding today, could escalate into a far more serious attack,&#8221; David Whelan said. &#8220;Paul is a target because he is an American and anti-American sentiment is not uncommon among the other prisoners.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/imprisoned-us-marine-vet-paul-whelan-assaulted-political-differences-russian-news-agency-reports\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember Paul Whelan, the Marine veteran that remained in Russia as team Biden helped secure the &hellip; <a title=\"Marine veteran held at Russian labor camp experiences assault\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=150275\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Marine veteran held at Russian labor camp experiences assault<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[387,384,226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international-affairs","category-russia","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=150275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150275\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=150275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=150275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=150275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
