Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
- Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.
- Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.
- Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.
- Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.
