美海军陆战队老兵获释引发对在俄被押美国人健康状况的担忧

美国海军陆战队退伍军人罗伯特·吉尔曼（Robert Gilman）在被俄罗斯关押超过四年后于本月获释，其憔悴状态引发对其他仍被俄关押且健康状况恶化的美国公民的担忧。1 家属和倡导组织指出，多名在押美国人患有严重疾病却未获充分医疗救治，呼吁美国政府加快行动。1 美国国务院表示已知悉相关医疗问题并持续向俄方提出交涉。1

约28名美国人被关押在俄罗斯，其中约六人被认定为不当拘押。1 奥尔加·耶兹勒（Olga Jezler）自2022年起被俄罗斯关押，被诊断患有子宫内膜异位症；查克·齐默尔曼（Chuck Zimmerman）于2025年6月被俄罗斯海军在国际水域拦截，后被判处五年监禁。1 16名参议员致信国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio），要求加快释放五名健康状况堪忧的美国人。1 保罗·惠兰（Paul Whelan）在2024年通过换囚获释，曾被关押超过五年。1

The release of U.S. Marine Corps veteran Robert Gilman this month, following more than four years in Russian custody, has drawn urgent attention to the deteriorating health of other American citizens still imprisoned in Russia 1. Gilman's frail appearance upon his return has prompted family members and advocacy groups to highlight that several detained Americans are suffering from severe illnesses without receiving adequate medical care, urging the U.S. government to accelerate its actions 1. In response, the U.S. State Department stated that it is aware of these medical concerns and continues to raise the issues with Russian authorities 1.

Among those facing severe health challenges is Olga Jezler, who has been held in Russia since 2022 and was diagnosed with endometriosis 1. Another detainee, Chuck Zimmerman, was intercepted by the Russian Navy in international waters in June 2025 and was later sentenced to five years in prison 1. Highlighting the urgency of the situation, 16 U.S. senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, demanding the expedited release of five Americans whose health conditions are particularly concerning 1.

The broader scope of the detention crisis remains significant, with approximately 28 Americans currently held in Russia, of whom about six are officially designated as wrongfully detained 1. The push for swift action follows the precedent of Paul Whelan, who was released in 2024 through a prisoner exchange after being held for more than five years 1.
