Russia again extends detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich after a year behind bars
Evan Gershkovich will remain in custody until at least June 30 after a Moscow court on Tuesday again extended his pre-trial detention on espionage charges.
A Russian court on Tuesday again extended the detention of Evan Gershkovich, an American reporter for The Wall Street Journal who was arrested a year ago on what the U.S. decries as bogus espionage charges.
Moscow court officials said Gershkovich will remain in custody until at least June 30. The 32-year-old U.S. citizen was arrested and detained on March 29, 2023 while on a reporting trip and has been behind bars ever since.
