The cache of 40 letters is the American’s first direct contact with his family since his arrest in December.
By Amie Ferris-Rotman Amie Ferris-Rotman Moscow reporter for the Washington Post. Email Bio Follow May 5 at 9:00 AM MOSCOW — In late April, a cache of letters from jailed American Paul Whelan appeared in the Michigan mailbox of his parents, the first contact Whelan’s family has had with him since he was arrested four months ago and accused of espionage by Russian authorities.
The sudden arrival of about 40 letters, which Whelan penned in the early days of his imprisonment, came by regular airmail in two batches, taking his family by surprise. Whelan has not been given any of the 100-plus pieces of mail his family has sent him, according to his family. But why the letters arrived so late, or at all, remains a mystery, the latest twist in an opaque case where the regular rules of diplomacy seem to carry little weight.
