Court won’t free ill American accused of spying
Edmond Pope, an American jailed for espionage in Moscow for five months, had appealed for freedom to seek cancer treatment. The Moscow city court refused, deeming the charge too serious for release as Pope fights a rare bone cancer with his family claiming inadequate jail medical care. The FSB says he is healthy enough to stay jailed and notes cancer specialists examined him. Pope faces up to 20 years if convicted and denies wrongdoing as the U S presses for his release.
