According to him, Whelan “did exercises and squatted,” and the FSIN officer “did not understand the situation and made a remark to him.”

“After that, the jailer was enforced; he was deprived of half his salary. This happened after my complaint, ”the lawyer said.

As Zherebenkov noted, to date, “there have been no violations of the detention regime in the pre-trial detention center,” and the conflict between Whelan and the FSIN officer has also occurred due to the language barrier.

Whelan previously stated in court that he was threatened with a gun by an employee of the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center.

On October 24, the court extended Paul Whelan's arrest until the end of the year.
