Back in late February, I chose to use this space to write about Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. That is why I’m renewing my pledge to Stand with Evan as his trial is set to begin in Russia on June 26. Gershkovich, a U.S. citizen who is a foreign correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Russia, has been in prison since March 2023 and could face up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted. Gershkovich was arrested by the Federal Security Service, or FSB, while on a reporting trip to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg. Until then, I’ll continue to stand with Evan.
