The U.S. ambassador to Moscow accused Russia of conducting 'hostage diplomacy' after a judge rejected an application for the Wall Street Journal reporter to be released from Moscow's Lefortovo prison while awaiting trial.
MOSCOW -U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich lost his latest appeal in a Moscow court on Thursday against his pre-trial detention on charges of espionage that he denies.
The judge's decision came as no surprise, after a court denied an earlier request from Gershkovich's lawyers in April that he be transferred to house arrest, agree to restrictions on his movements, or be granted bail. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy, who was not allowed inside the court hearing, told reporters outside that she was "extremely disappointed" by the decision.
Russia has agreed in the past to high-profile prisoner exchanges with the United States, most recently last year when basketball star Brittney Griner, sentenced on a drugs charge, was traded for convicted Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout.Moscow has said no exchange could take place in Gershkovich's case until a verdict has been reached. No date has so far been set for his trial.
