Trevor Reed, ex-Marine held 'hostage' by Russia, moved to prison camp

Trevor Reed one of two American former Marines held as a suspected hostage by Russia has been moved to a prison camp from Moscow.

MOSCOW -- Trevor Reed, one of two American former Marines that U.S. officials say is being held hostage by Russia, has been transferred to a prison camp a few hundred miles from Moscow, according to a prison rights monitoring group. Reed, 30, and the other ex-Marine, Paul Whelan, have spent about two years in detention in Russia imprisoned on charges their families and American officials say were fabricated by Russia in order to seize them as bargaining chips. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the two Americans' detention and the possibility of a prisoner swap to free them at their summit in Switzerland last month. Reed has now been moved to a prison camp in Mordovia, a region about 350 miles from Moscow, Alexey Melnikov, an official at Moscow's Public Monitoring Commission confirmed to ABC News on Friday. The other former Marine, Whelan, has already spent nearly a year in a camp in the same region, known for its high number of prisons.
