Moscow’s Lefortovo District Court extended the arrest of reporter Evan Gershkovich until August 30. Gershkovich, who is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, has been charged with espionage. The court decision was made in a closed hearing since the evidence in the case is classified.
On March 30, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest of Evan Gershkovich, a U.S. citizen and a correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, on suspicion of spying for the American government.
