"American Journalist Evan Gershkovich Marks One Year in Russian Detention"

U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich has been detained in Russia for a year on spying allegations, marking the first such detention of an American journalist on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War. The Wall Street Journal vehemently rejects the charges, and his arrest has heightened Western suspicion of "hostage diplomacy" in Moscow. Gershkovich, who was working in Russia with official press accreditation, faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted. The Biden administration has prioritized securing his freedom, but his trial date remains uncertain as his pretrial detention has been repeatedly extended.

Russian Court Extends Detention of U.S. Journalist Evan Gershkovich for Two More Months

A Moscow court has extended the detention of U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested in Russia on spying charges earlier this year. The extension, which lasts until January 30, was expected as Moscow rarely releases individuals awaiting trial on serious charges. Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, his employer, and the U.S. government have all denied the allegations. The hearing was held behind closed doors, and no press were allowed inside. Russia has not provided public evidence to support its accusations against Gershkovich.
