Sen. Graham to Write Letter of Clemency for South Carolina Pastor’s Release
Graham told FOX News that Amb. William Burns recommended that Graham send a letter, along with an appeal by Rev. Phillip Miles’ legal team, requesting clemency. Graham said he will send a letter via the ambassador soon, who will then get it to the appropriate judicial authorities in Russia.
He said he also received “counseling and advice” from Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov’s chief of staff, who agreed that it would be helpful to send the clemency letter. Graham plans to talk to Ivanov as well.
Miles was sentenced Monday to three years in prison for smuggling the case of ammunition into the country in January. His attorney and family spokesman, Dominic Starr, said the gift of a box of a box of .300-caliber rounds for a new Winchester rifle, ammunition that is very expensive in the former Soviet Union, was confiscated when Miles entered the country. But the pastor was permitted to go on his way. Only after he returned to the airport to leave the country on Feb. 3 was Miles arrested and imprisoned.
