Journalist Evan Gershkovich remains detained in Russia despite appeals and support from US officials.
TL;DR
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has lost his appeal against pre-trial detention in Moscow on spying charges, which he denies. His detention was extended last month to August 30, and he faces up to 20 years in jail. His arrest in March was the first detention of an American reporter in Russia on allegations of spying since the Cold War, straining ties between Moscow and Washington.
