Phillip Miles, of Conway, SC has been sentenced to 3+ years in prison for bringing a gift of rifle cartridges to a fellow pastor in Russia. Granted, Mr Miles did not declare the gift, but the sentence imposed by the Russian Court is excessive.

I encourage everyone to contact the State Department to request their further intervention in this matter.
