🚨 PRESS FREEDOM UNDER THREAT: Russia Keeps WSJ Reporter Behind Bars
Russian court extends Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's detention amid espionage claims.
Gershkovich, accused of gathering state secrets, denies charges alongside the Journal; the U.S. asserts wrongful detention.
This marks the first American journalist espionage charge in Russia since 1986, highlighting escalating pressures on press freedom, and the worsening U.S-Russian relations.
Held in Moscow's infamous Lefortovo prison, Gershkovich's case proceeds under a veil of secrecy with closed-door hearings.
