[1/3] Reporter for U.S. newspaper The Wall Street Journal Evan Gershkovich, detained on suspicion of espionage, leaves a court building in Moscow, Russia March 30, 2023. A Moscow court last Thursday remanded the Wall Street Journal reporter in pre-trial detention until May 29 on charges that carry a prison term of up to 20 years. The Wall Street Journal has "vehemently denied" the charges against Gershkovich, labelled them a "vicious affront to a free press" and called for his immediate release. The case is the most serious move against an American reporter in Russia since the end of the Cold War. Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker told The Times on Monday she was "hopeful" Gershkovich would be able to speak to a lawyer "sometime next week".
