The US State Department officially designated the Russian imprisonment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich a as a wrongful detainment Monday.
The State Department on Monday officially determined that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been “wrongfully detained” by Russia — allowing the US greater authority to pressure the Kremlin to free the journalist.
“He is a distinguished journalist and his arrest is an attack on a free press and it should spur outrage in all free people and governments around the world.” “While this case has moved at a record pace, it still took almost two weeks for our government to make this determination. We must do more to streamline the process—especially as it relates to journalists,” Eileen O’Reilly, president of the National Press Club, and Gil Klein, president of the National Press Club Journalism Institute, said in a joint statement. “We believe it is always a wrongful detention when a journalist is held for doing their job.
Gershkovich — who is accredited by Russia’s Foreign Ministry to work as a journalist there — is behind bars at Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo jail, a pretrial detention center run by the Federal Security Service.
