Russia Extends US Journalist Gershkovich’s Detention Period

The detention period of American Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is under detention in Russia on espionage charges, was extended for the fourth time after a hearing held today at the Lefortovo District Court in Moscow. The court decided to extend the reporter’s detention by another 2 months. US Consul General Stuart Wilson also attended the hearing, which was closed to the press due to the confidentiality decision.

The 32-year-old journalist, who was correspondent in Moscow, was detained on the grounds that he collected data on the Russian army’s industrial complex while working in Yekaterinburg on March 29, 2023.
