American journalist Evan Gershkovich to remain in Russian jail on spying charges.

American journalist Evan Gershkovich, Russia correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, will remain in jail on spying charges after a Moscow City Court judge denied his appeal of detention. Gershkovich was accused of spying on behalf of the US government by Russia's Federal Security Service, marking the first time an American journalist has been arrested in Russia on espionage charges since the Cold War. The US government, Gershkovich, and the Journal have all denied the allegations. If convicted, Gershkovich could face up to 20 years in prison.
