The Senate's Democratic and Republican leaders have issued a rare bipartisan statement condemning Russia's 'wrongful detention' of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and calling for his immediate release.
The senators said Friday that Gershkovich's detention continues Russia's"long and disturbing history" of unjustly detaining American citizens.
“Let there be no mistake: journalism is not a crime," Schumer and McConnell said."We demand the baseless, fabricated charges against Mr. Gershkovich be dropped and he be immediately released and reiterate our condemnation of the Russian government’s continued attempts to intimidate, repress, and punish independent journalists and civil society voices.
The Lefortovo court in Moscow ordered Gershkovich to be detained until May 29, according to the official Telegram channel of the capital’s courts. Gershkovich denied the charges against him, according to the TASS state news agency. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
