Russian court rejects US reporter Gershkovich’s detention appeal FMTNews FMTWorld
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich stands in a glass cage in a courtroom at the Moscow City Court.
His legal team suggested he be freed on bail of 50 million rubles or placed under house arrest, Tatiana Nozhkina, his lawyer, was quoted as saying by Russia’s RIA news agency. She said the court had rejected both suggestions. The Kremlin has said Gershkovich, the first US journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges since the end of the Cold War, was caught “red-handed”.
Tuesday’s hearing was procedural, covering how Gershkovich should be detained, not the substance of the charges against him as investigators are still working on the details of the case.
