Russian Court Sets Trial Date for Detained Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Gershkovich

ai generated text

Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter, has been imprisoned in Russia for over a year after being accused of collecting "secret information" from a Russian tank factory. Prosecutors plan to put him on trial in Yekaterinburg, where he was arrested in March last year. However, Mr. Gershkovich, his newspaper, and the US government have all denied the charges. The US has officially designated him as "wrongfully detained". This is the first time an American journalist has been arrested on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.

    1. Moreover, these negotiations are under way, and there have been many cases when we agreed. We can come to an agreement now, but we just need to agree.

    1. Russia's latest move toward a sham trial is, while expected, deeply disappointing and still no less outrageous. Evan has spent 441 days wrongfully detained in a Russian prison for simply doing his job. Evan is a journalist. The Russian regime's smearing of Evan is repugnant, disgusting and based on calculated and transparent lies.
