Russia Today/Screenshot by NPRIn the video released Monday by the state-controlled outlet Russia Today, Whelan is shown in a prison uniform standing among other prisoners, operating a sewing machine and eating with others.
His brother David Whelan said the 6-minute video amounted to propaganda, but it"was the first time I've seen what he really looks like since June 2020.""Not only did he not want to be interviewed, which you can see he politely declined, prison staff retaliated against him after he didn't participate," David Whelan said in a statement."I wish I could see Paul under better circumstances. But it was good to see him again and to see the fight remains in his eyes.
The White House said on Tuesday that U.S. officials have spoken with Whelan in the last several months.
