Such a strong message of support from the The Wall Street Journal newsroom to their colleague, wrongfully detained. #FreeEvanGershkovich #IStandWithEvan #WorldPressFreedomDay2023
Happening now in Berlin: hundreds of people commemorating May 9, Soviet Victory Day, march past the Brandenburg gate. They are singing Katushya, they also sang «нам Š½Ńжна оГна побеГа» by Bulat Okudzhava. Russian flags & pro-war symbols were banned last week by German authorities.
Mr. Gershkovichās parents, Ella Milman and Mikhail Gershkovich, waited for more than an hour outside the courtroom before being allowed into the hearing. ā¦Roger Cohenā© reports from Moscow: nytimes.com/2023/05/23/worā¦
The London newsroom is standing tall with our fiercely-talented The Wall Street Journal colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich, today and every day. He has now been locked up in Russia for 12 weeks (84 days), simply for doing his job. It's time to bring him home. #IStandwithEvan #FreeEvan
Evan's mom on flying to Moscow for today's hearing: āI want to scream and say āGive me back my son,āā Milman said. āItās very hard, but I will be there smiling. I will be smiling for Evan, and they are not going to see my tears,ā she said. #FreeEvan wsj.com/articles/russiā¦
It was incredibly moving to see Evan's parents, Ella and Mikhail in our New York newsroom today as we mark 22 weeks of his outrageous detention. We are standing with them every day and will not rest until our brave colleague and friend is home. #IStandWithEvan The Wall Street Journal
