New photo-shoot on World Press Freedom Day ... National Press Club president Emily Wilkins talks with advocates for journalists held hostage: Austin Tice, Evan Gershkovich, and Alsu Kurmasheva.
Here, Wilkins talks with Stephen Capus, president of RFE/RL, employer of Alsu Kurmasheva.
Today marks 250 days since Wall Street Journal's journalist Evan Gershkovich was detained by officers from Russia’s Federal Security Service while reporting in Yekaterinburg on March 29.
The "espionage" charges against Evan are a sham, and Russia knows it.
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.
It’s been 100 days since our colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully arrested in Russia simply for doing his job.
All Evan wanted was to inform people about what was happening in the world around them. He saw reporting as such a privilege. Bring him home. #FreeEvan#press
I stand with my former colleagues at The Wall Street Journal calling on the release of Evan Gershkovich, who has been detained by Russia for five weeks.
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.
