Russia wants to sentence Evan Gershkovich, Wall Street Journal journalist, to 18 years in Russian prison for "espionage."

Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russian Yekaterinburg on March 29, 2023. He had full press credentials from Russia's foreign ministry. He was accused of espionage, making him the first American detained on such an allegation since the Cold War. Evan, his family, the Journal and the U.S. government vehemently deny these allegations. The State Department has declared Evan wrongfully detained - the Wall Street Journal.
