Just seen Evan Gershkovich at an appeal hearing in Moscow.





We’re in the Moscow courtroom where Evan Gershkovich is appealing the extension of his pre-trial detention. It’s 12 weeks since the Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested in Russia and charged with espionage. He & his employer vehemently deny the charge.




"Any parent who loves their kid would travel to the end of the world to be with them for five minutes." It has been nine weeks since our colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained. We stand with him and his family. wsj.com/articles/missi… via @WSJ #IStandWithEvan





"The Pulitzer Prize board joins the many organizations around the world demanding Evan's immediate release. He, like so many others, is doing his job." Co-Chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board Neil Brown on @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich. #IStandWithEvan (via @PulitzerPrizes)

Today is World Press Freedom day. Evan Gershkovich is spending it in a Russian prison, wrongfully detained for doing his job. Evan, we are standing with you today and everyday. #JournalismIsNotACrime #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan
