Russian court extends pre-trial detention of US citizen Joseph Tater for assault, risking 5-year imprisonment.
A Russian court has extended the pre-trial detention of U.S. citizen Joseph Tater until November 14. Tater was first detained in August and served 15 days for petty hooliganism, which he denies. Reports indicate he later assaulted a police officer, prompting a separate criminal case that could carry a five-year prison sentence. This situation raises concerns about the legal treatment of U.S. citizens in Russia.
