CHM Michael McCaul: 'Department of State must designate Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist Alsu Kurmasheva as wrongfully detained. While State drags its feet on designating her, she languishes in a Russian prison because of false charges levied by a Kremlin-controlled court. There’s no time to waste.”

Now that @potus has called for Alsu’s release, it’s time for Department of State and Secretary Antony Blinken to officially declare her a “wrongfully detained person”. There
Is no reason for this delay and Alsu needs all of the resources of the USG brought to bear. #FreeAlsu

The strongest person I know. Evan should be free, with his family and The Wall Street Journal colleagues. We'll keep fighting until that happens.

Six months ago, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist Alsu Kurmasheva was wrongfully detained in Russia on bogus charges while visiting her ailing mother.
We urge the U.S. State Department to grant Kurmasheva“wrongfully detained” status so the U.S. can use all efforts to free her.

'Alsu’s time in detention is unlike anything anyone could imagine' says Amanda Bennett. 'Russia’s delaying and obfuscating shows this is purely a political stunt to advance the Kremlin’s agenda' voanews.com/a/american-rfe…

Thank you Bill Bill McCarren, Washington Post Press Freedom Partnership, and National Press Club.
