Former U.S. marine Paul Whelan, jailed in a Russian prison for espionage, was attacked by a fellow inmate, prompted by anti-American sentiment. The incident occurred in a high-security penal colony, leading to Whelan suffering an abrasion. The U.S. government denies the charges and classifies him as 'wrongfully detained,' raising speculation of a possible prisoner exchange with Russia.
