Outrage over detention of US journalist in Russia

The Wall Street Journal's editor-in-chief, Emma Tucker, has condemned the detainment of American reporter Evan Gershkovich in Russia, calling it a "total outrage." Gershkovich was accused of foreign espionage and will be held in detainment until May 29. The espionage allegations have been largely dismissed as bogus, and top US officials are facing growing calls to secure the release of the journalist. Tucker noted that Russia has become increasingly dangerous for journalists, but the safety of journalists comes first, and the publication remains committed to reporting fairly and squarely from all over the world.
