The family of a North Texas man imprisoned in Russia is heading to Washington to renew attention on his case.
Trevor Reed, a former U.S. Marine, is being held behind bars in Russia and the desperate effort to get the 29-year-old freed is picking up speed. On Wednesday, the family from Granbury is planning a demonstration in front of the White House.
It's been two-and-a-half years since Reed was placed in a Russian prison on an assault charge that U.S. officials have called preposterous. His family said he has resumed a hunger strike in protest of better care for his health. Reed had traveled to Russia to visit a longtime girlfriend and to study the language as part of his international studies degree at the University of North Texas.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
