Demand for Release of WSJ Reporter Detained in Russia Grows
Evan Gershkovich, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal covering Russia, Ukraine, and the former Soviet Union, has been detained in Russia on espionage charges. The Journal denies the allegations, and President Biden and news organizations around the world are calling for his immediate release. Gershkovich, the first American journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges since the Cold War, has received support from the #IStandWithEvan campaign.
