Calling on the Government of the Russian Federation to provide evidence or to release United States citizen Paul Whelan.
Summary
House Resolution 336 is a formal statement from the U.S. House of Representatives calling on the Russian government to either provide credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing against American citizen Paul Whelan or release him from imprisonment immediately. The resolution also demands that Russia grant U.S. officials unrestricted access to visit Mr. Whelan and ensure he is treated according to international human rights and due process standards. While this measure does not carry the force of law, it serves as an official diplomatic tool to pressure foreign authorities and signal a unified congressional stance on the protection of U.S. citizens detained abroad.
