We are deeply concerned for his safety and well-being. His innocence is undoubted and we trust that his rights will be respected, Whelan’s brother, David Whelan, said in a statement released Tuesday to CNN.

“我們非常關(guān)心他的安全和健康。”Paul的兄弟David Whelan周二向美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)發(fā)表聲明中稱: “毋庸置疑，他是清白的，我們相信他的權(quán)利將得到尊重。”
