\n MOSCOW \u2014 A Russian court sentenced an American to 16 years in prison on spying charges a sentence he rejected as political.<\/p>\n

The Moscow City Court on Monday read out the conviction of Paul Whelan on charges of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a maximum security prison colony.<\/p>\n

Whelan has insisted on his innocence, saying he was set up. The U.S. Embassy has denounced Whelan\u2019s trial as unfair, pointing that no evidence has been provided.<\/p>\n

Whelan\u2019s brother David said lawyers will app<\/a>eal the verdict that he denounced as political, adding in a statement that \u201cthe court\u2019s decision merely completes the final piece of this broken judicial process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had hoped that the court might show some independence but, in the end, Russian judges are political, not legal, entities,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe look to the U.S. government to immedia<\/a>tely take steps to bring Paul home.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
