Russian court extends detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich by 3 months

A Russian court has extended the detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who faces espionage charges, for at least another three months. The U.S. has denounced the charges as fabricated and determined that he is being "wrongfully detained." Gershkovich's detention has sparked an uproar in the U.S., with congressional leaders of both parties issuing rare statements demanding his immediate release. He is the first U.S. journalist to be detained for alleged spying in Russia since the Cold War.
