| [Lex Libertas] Russian Court Jails American Pastor
Quote: Court Jails American Pastor
An American pastor, who has been to Russia 12 times and contributed much to society there has been sentenced to 3 years in prison. Phillip H. Miles brought into the country a $25 box of hunting bullets as a gift for a fellow pastor. Apparently, he had to declare it at customs, but that wasn’t written on the customs form, and he had previously asked the airline.... | Read the article Russian Court Jails American Pastor at the blog Lex Libertas. Editor's Note: The line on the Russian customs declaration form does read: WEAPONS, AMMUNITION, or EXPLOSIVES. It is printed in both Russian an English. It has read so for at least the last ten years and is printed in large type in the airport after you gather your check-on luggage but before you go through customs. Pastor Phillip Miles really should have known not to bring in the ammunition, but three years is a ridiculous sentence. |
