The front page of The Wall Street Journal on the anniversary of Russia's imprisonment of reporter Evan Gershkovich. (Via the Reliable Sources newsletter). #journalism#IStandWithEvan
We saved a seat for Evan Gershkovich at dinner tonight. Evan is spending this holiday season locked up in Russia, for the "crime" of doing his job: Reporting the news. He has been unjustly detained for more than nine months now. Please keep him in your thoughts, and help spread the word. You can read more about Evan, and his remarkable work covering the world, at wsj.com/Evan #istandwithevan
Today is my colleague Evan Gershkovich's 32 birthday. He is unjustly spending it in a Russian prison cell simply because he was doing his job as a journalist and seeking to bring truth about the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the world.
This is unacceptable—30 weeks of detention for Evan is 30 weeks too long.
Today marks 24 weeks -- 6 months -- of my colleague, WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich being arbitrarily and unjustly detained in Russia.
“If this can happen to my brother, it can happen to any journalist trying to report the news,” Evan's sister, Danielle, said at a briefing at the UN in this morning.
It's been more than 23 long weeks since our WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia for doing his job. Our Hong Kong bureau and WSJ Editor in Chief Emma Tucker stand with Evan and his family. He should be released immediately. #IStandWithEvan
More support for Evan Gershkowitz today at National Press Club and Wall Street Journal offices in London and Singapore. WSJ colleagues and supporters at the three locations read from Evan's writings for 24 hours. I got a few shots of the D.C. segment, including Evan's family. #IStandWithEvan ...
It has been 100 days since @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by Russia during a reporting trip and falsely accused of espionage. His unjust arrest is a brazen violation of press freedom. We won't rest until Evan is released. #IStandWithEvanhttps://www.wsj.com/Evan
Funny how certain people crow about "free speech" but support Putin's Russia even when they jail journalists like Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
A Russian court ordered my colleague, WSJ Reporter Evan Gershkovich detained in a Russian prison for 3 more months while awaiting "trial" (by the FSB, for "spying")
Evan was grabbed for doing his job, and doing it well. He's one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet.
Genuinely heartwarming to see every one of my colleagues showing support for our friend and colleague Evan, who is still being held by Russian authorities — who accuse him of spying — for doing his job, which is reporting.
Genuinely heartbreaking that we have now exceeded 4 weeks of Evan being held in near total isolation in Russia. 😔
On World Press Freedom Day, I stand with my colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained by Russia for five weeks. All of us at The Wall Street Journal call for Evan's release and all the other reporters detained for simply doing their job.
If Twitter still had the cultural cachet it did pre-Elon, a WSJ reporter being taken hostage by Russia would be a much bigger story because it would have a much bigger and more useful platform that people were still looking to for real information instead of just reality show style trainwreck. #IStandWithEvan
It's been four weeks since my colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia. He remains in isolation despite entreaties by U.S. officials & many others.
I continue to stand with Evan and his family in asking for his immediate release. #IStandWithEvan
