The information we receive about Maria Kalesnikava from fellow prisoners is alarming. She now weighs just 45 kilograms, is starving & held in constant isolation under horrible conditions. This medieval cruelty & slow murder is happening right here in Europe, in the 21st century.

Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, Paul Whelan. Free!

A court in Yekaterinburg has convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a high security penal colony. The trial has been dismissed as a ‘sham’ by US officials & the WSJ.

[Andrew Roth @Andrew__Roth]

Thinking about Evan today as he is sentenced to 16 years in prison on fake charges for espionage. Evan was taken by Russia as a hostage and should be released immediately. He is a dedicated journalist, a kind person, and a friend and we want to see him at home with his family.

@Andrew__Roth @guardian @julianborger Congratulations, amazing! And good luck with the move

Putin and Kim Jong-Un sign a new strategic partnership agreement between Russia and North Korea.

Seeing plenty of old videos from the Middle East plus some video game footage going viral tonight, mostly posted by accounts seeking clout and engagement during a major news event by spreading misinformation and fear.

Double-check everything you see online tonight.

A year after his arrest on bogus spying accusations, our colleague & friend Evan Gershkovich is still in prison. It’s painful to think about - and I still find it hard to believe. On this absurd anniversary, read @EvaHartog ’s touching essay ❤️‍🩹

Danielle Gershkovich tells me about the letters she writes to Evan & the ones he sends back from a Russian jail. "I asked him if it's OK for me to see the Dune movie, the sequel. I felt guilty about seeing it since he can't." Producer @BenTavener

[Emily Sherwin @EmilyCSherwin]

Hard to look at this. #FreeEvan

[Pjotr Sauer @PjotrSauer]

Evan Gershkovich, our dear friend falsely accused by Russia of spying, had his pre-trial detention extended by three months today. Friday will mark the first anniversary of Evan's arrest which he has spent in the notorious Lefortovo jail. It's sickening. Free Evan

Am Tag nach Verkündung der 87 % wird in Russland das Wort Krieg plötzlich salonfähig. "Spezielle militärische Operation" muss niemand mehr sagen, wenn schon der Kremlsprecher das im Zusammenhang mit der Ukraine bislang möglichst vermiedene K-Wort jetzt ausspricht 1/2

In case you’re still wondering what Vladimir Putin’s win in this latest electoral procedure means for Russia, here’s me trying to break it down.

[DW Europe @dw_europe]

Vladimir Putin's win in Russia's presidential election is no surprise. Still, Putin has come out of the vote emboldened — so what does that mean? DW's @EmilyCSherwin breaks it down:

Russia expels another foreign correspondent: after 12 years in Moscow, Xavier’s visa was not renewed & he had 24 hours to leave

The exact reason is unclear (as ever) but @elmundoes says he’d been warned to stop reporting on protests by military wives

“It wasn’t that Evan’s work had changed. It was that Russia changed,” says @polinaivanovva.

@FreeGershkovich has been in detention over bogus espionage accusations for almost a year now.

[max seddon @maxseddon]

TIME have put @FreeGershkovich on the cover!

“It wasn’t that Evan’s work had changed. It was that Russia changed,” says @polinaivanovva.

She asks them to do it in memory of Alexei
