U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted on charges of espionage
U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich had a new appeal rejected by a Moscow court on Thursday against his pre-trial detention on charges of espionage, a Reuters reporter at the court said.
His parents Mikhail Gershkovich and Ella Milman, who left the Soviet Union for the United States in 1979, were in court to support their son. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy was not allowed inside the room. The 31-year-old was arrested in March and accused by Russia’s FSB security service of collecting military secrets in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg.
Emma Tucker, the Wall Street Journal’s editor in chief, told the BBC before the hearing that she had low expectations from the appeal but it was important to go through the legal process.
