Reporter Marks a Year in Russian Prison
Gershkovich's Family Speaks After a Year
American Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has now been detained in Russia for 250 days. His family, the Journal, and the US State Department have declared him "unjustly detained" on spying charges.
Gershkovich's parents, Ella and Mikhail Gershkovich, are Jewish immigrants who each settled in the US. They have spoken out about their son's detention, calling it a "nightmare" and urging the Russian government to release him.
Evan Gershkovich remains defiant, even after six months in prison. In a letter to his family, he said he is "determined to continue reporting on the truth in Russia, no matter the cost."
