My colleague Evan Gershkovich woke up in a Moscow prison this morning for the fourth day. He was arrested by Russia for doing his job and should be freed immediately. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

We at the WSJ all hope our lawyers/others will be able to get word to Evan soon of this latest example of his industry doing what we can from where we sit to support him. We want him out of that terrible prison. #IStandWithEvan

The WSJ is one of the nicest newsrooms I have ever worked in and I count my colleagues as friends. But we're missing one of our friends right now -- Evan Gershkovich -- and we hope to see him home soon. Today we're wearing our #IStandWithEvan shirts to show our support.

It is time for ⁦Evan Gershkovich⁩ to come home and back to the WSJ newsroom. The U.S. government must act. And the Russian government must release him. #IStandWithEvan

In The Wall Street Journal London offices, we gathered today to mark 12 weeks of injustice - 12 weeks of our colleague Evan being locked up in Russia. Thank you for remembering and speaking of him and journalists wrongly imprisoned for doing their jobs. It matters. #IStandwithEvan
