Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, detained in Russia on espionage charges, must stay behind bars at least until Nov. 30, a court rules.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich lost an appeal Tuesday to be released from the jail where he is being held on espionage charges, meaning that the 31-year-old American will remain behind bars at least through Nov. 30. Gershkovich had a mostly blank expression as he appeared in the defendant's glass cage in Moscow City Court in a blue shirt, T-shirt and jeans. He marked six months in custody Sept. 29.
Russia’s Federal Security Service alleged Gershkovich, “acting on the instructions of the American side, collected information constituting a state secret about the activities of one of the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex.” Gershkovich and the Journal deny the allegations, and the U.S. government has declared him to be wrongfully detained. Russian authorities haven’t detailed any evidence to support the espionage charges.
