华盛顿8月6日电（路透社）——据两名人质维权组织和他的妹妹透露，自2022年起被关押在俄罗斯的前美国海军陆战队成员曾遭受酷刑并被注入精神类药物，他在6月陷入昏迷状态，目前或已生命垂危。
代表其家人的维权组织“全球影响力”首席战略官埃里克·莱布森表示，白宫和国务院已敦促莫斯科释放32岁的罗伯特·吉尔曼，以便他能在美国接受紧急医疗救治。莱布森还称，吉尔曼目前依靠鼻饲管进食。

一位知情人士向路透社透露，他们通过国务院的联络渠道获悉，国务卿马可·卢比奥于7月23日在马尼拉的一场会晤中，向俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫提及了此案。
该人士因事件敏感性要求匿名，表示并不清楚拉夫罗夫的回应。
吉尔曼是已知被关押在俄罗斯的至少10名美国人之一。他的离世将使本已因伊朗、乌克兰冲突及其他问题而紧张的美俄关系进一步复杂化。
“比起这场可怕噩梦开始以来的任何时刻，我现在都更为我的哥哥感到恐惧，”吉尔曼的妹妹莱克西·哈德森在一份声明中说道，“我担心如果俄罗斯方面不放他，我可能再也见不到他了。我担心他可能会死在这里。”
一位同样要求匿名的特朗普政府高级官员表示，本届政府“正密切关注吉尔曼先生的案件，并已多次与俄方开展协调一致的接触，呼吁将他遣返回美国”。
国务院在一份声明中称：“我们对罗伯特·吉尔曼的健康状况和持续被关押深感担忧。”
俄罗斯大使馆未回应置评请求。
母亲被禁止探视
莱布森称，俄罗斯医院禁止吉尔曼的母亲探视他，尽管她已获得司法许可，有权探望儿子。
他补充道，美国领事官员偶尔获准前往监狱探望吉尔曼，但无论是他们还是吉尔曼的俄罗斯律师，都不被允许进入这家医院。
莱布森表示，吉尔曼此前被关押在莫斯科以南约340英里（547公里）的沃罗涅日一所监狱内。6月下旬，他从监狱医院被转移至一家平民急救医院的精神科病房，当时他处于类似紧张性精神分裂症的状态，被诊断为“解离性木僵”。
世界卫生组织的国际疾病与相关健康问题统计分类第十版（ICD-10）是国际通用的诊断分类系统，该标准将解离性木僵描述为“自主运动大幅减弱或完全消失，对外界刺激正常反应丧失”。
莱布森称，吉尔曼目前已无法与人交流，必须通过鼻饲管获取食物和液体，双眼始终紧闭。这一状况导致他无法出庭受审。
“他似乎没有得到所需的治疗，我们非常担心他的生命和安全，”追踪此案的福利基金会人质维权与研究主任伊丽莎白·理查兹说道。
俄罗斯一家报纸7月9日报道称吉尔曼已被转移至沃罗涅日的一家医院，并援引其律师的话称，目前作出诊断为时尚早。
前海军陆战队成员
莱布森表示，吉尔曼于2019年8月至2020年8月期间在美国海军陆战队服役，2022年1月17日在沃罗涅日乘火车时被捕。
据俄罗斯官方媒体报道，他因涉嫌醉酒踢打警察而被拘留。
然而，他的父亲弗拉基米尔·吉尔曼——从俄罗斯移民至马萨诸塞州——在2024年10月11日《波士顿环球报》的专栏文章中称，这项指控是虚假的。
他写道，事发时儿子突然生病，意外踢到了警察。该警察并未受伤，随后撤销了指控，且在罗伯特·吉尔曼的审判中未提交任何证据。
罗伯特·吉尔曼最终被判处四年半监禁。
弗拉基米尔·吉尔曼写道，其家人曾在2023年3月请求国务院将他的儿子列为“错误拘留人员”，这一认定将使推动其获释成为美国政府的最高优先级事项。
路透社未能获悉国务院未作出该项认定的原因。莱布森称，自特朗普开启第二任期以来，卢比奥尚未将任何一名被关押在俄罗斯的美国人列为错误拘留人员。
俄罗斯官方媒体报道称，罗伯特·吉尔曼因涉嫌殴打监狱工作人员，其刑期在2024年被延长至10年。
莱布森和理查兹否认了这项指控，称罗伯特·吉尔曼遭受了极为恶劣的关押条件，遭到狱警酷刑折磨并被注入精神类药物，这一虐待行为导致他被转至平民医院。
“我们非常担心会出现另一起奥托·沃姆比尔式的事件，”莱布森说道。
他指的是一名美国大学生，在朝鲜被关押17个月后，于2017年6月被释放时已陷入昏迷。沃姆比尔当月在美军医院因不明原因的严重脑损伤去世，始终未能恢复意识。

Jailed ex-US Marine may be near death in Russia, sister, advocacy groups say
2026-08-06T18:49:37.724Z / Reuters
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – A former U.S. Marine jailed in Russia since 2022 and allegedly tortured and injected with mind-altering drugs, slipped into a stupor in June and may be close to death, according to two hostage advocacy groups and his sister.
The White House and the State Department have urged Moscow to release Robert Gilman, 32, so he can receive urgent medical treatment in the U.S., said Eric Lebson, chief strategy officer of Global Reach, an advocacy group representing his family. Gilman is being fed through a tube, he said.

A source familiar with the matter told Reuters they had learned through State Department contacts that Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised the case with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting in Manila on July 23.
The source, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said they did not know Lavrov’s response.
Gilman is one of at least 10 Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia. His death would complicate Washington’s ties with Moscow, already strained by the Iran and Ukraine wars and other issues.
“I am more afraid for my brother than I have been since this horrible nightmare started,” Lexie Hudson, Gilman’s sister, said in a statement. “I’m worried that I may never see him again if the Russians don’t release him. I’m worried that he could die.”
A senior Trump administration official, who was also granted anonymity, said the administration “is closely tracking Mr. Gilman’s case and has made repeated, concerted outreach to the Russians calling for his return to the United States.”
“We are deeply concerned about Robert Gilman’s health and continued detention,” the State Department said in a statement.
The Russian embassy did not respond to requests for comment.
MOTHER BARRED FROM VISITING
The Russian hospital has barred Gilman’s mother from visiting him even though she has a judicial order that she be permitted to see her son, Lebson said.
U.S. consular officials were occasionally allowed to visit Gilman in prison, but neither they nor his Russian lawyer have been permitted into the hospital, he added.
Gilman was being held in a prison in Voronezh, about 340 miles (547 kilometers) south of Moscow. He was moved in late June from the prison hospital to the psychiatric ward of a civilian emergency hospital in a catatonic-like state assessed as a “dissociative stupor,” said Lebson.
The World Health Organization’s ICD-10, an internationally used diagnostic classification system, describes a dissociative stupor as “a profound diminution or absence of voluntary movement and normal responsiveness to external stimuli.”
Gilman has been unable to communicate, must receive food and fluids through a tube and his eyes remain shut, Lebson said. The condition has prevented him from attending court hearings.
“It doesn’t seem like he’s getting the care he needs, and we are very concerned for his life and safety,” said Elizabeth Richards, director of hostage advocacy and research at the Foley Foundation, a group that has tracked the case.
A Russian newspaper on July 9 reported Gilman had been moved to a hospital in Voronezh, and quoted his lawyer as saying it was too early for a diagnosis.
FORMER MARINE
Gilman, who served in the U.S. Marines from August 2019 until August 2020, was traveling by train when he was arrested on January 17, 2022, in Voronezh, Lebson said.
He was detained for allegedly kicking a police officer while drunk, according to Russian state media.
However, his father, Vladimir Gilman, who immigrated to Massachusetts from Russia, wrote in an October 11, 2024, Boston Globe op-ed that the charges were false.
His son, he said, had fallen ill when the incident occurred and accidentally kicked the officer. The officer was uninjured, dropped the charges, and did not present evidence in Robert Gilman’s trial, he wrote.
Robert Gilman was sentenced to 4-1/2 years in jail.
Vladimir Gilman wrote that the family had asked the State Department in March 2023 to designate his son as wrongfully detained, a designation that would make winning his release a top U.S. government priority.
Reuters could not learn why the State Department has not made that designation. Lebson said Rubio has not designated any American being held in Russia since Trump began his second term.
Russian state media reported that Robert Gilman’s sentence was extended in 2024 to 10 years for allegedly assaulting prison staff.
Lebson and Richards denied that allegation, saying that Robert Gilman was held in extremely harsh conditions, tortured and injected with mind-altering drugs by guards, treatment that led to his transfer to the civilian hospital.
“We are seriously worried that we could see another situation like Otto Warmbier,” Lebson said.
He was referring to a U.S. college student who was comatose when he was freed in June 2017 by North Korea after 17 months in prison. Warmbier died the same month in a U.S. hospital from severe brain damage of an unknown cause without regaining consciousness.
