Ulfh3dnarAlsu Kurmasheva, Evan Gershkovich, and Paul Whelan arrived in the United States after a prisoner exchange.
They were met by U.S. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and members of their families.
Kriszta Satori'last month the court unexpectedly brought the 2nd hearing forward. At the end of a lightning-fast 3-day trial, Evan #Gershkovich was convicted and sentenced to 16 years in a penal colony.
The very same day, Alsu #Kurmasheva was sentenced to 6.5 ys in prison by a court in Kazan. Her trial had lasted just 2 days.
Someone was clearly in a hurry. It was the strongest sign yet that a deal had been done.The Russian authorities normally treat a conviction as a prerequisite for any prisoner exchange'
