After enduring unimaginable suffering and uncertainty, the Americans detained in Russia are safe, free, and have begun their journeys back into the arms of their families.
The sentencing of @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich is despicable and only serves to underscore Russia’s utter contempt for media freedom.
Journalism should not be a crime.
Gershkovich must be released immediately.
Evan is innocent. Evan is a staff reporter of The Wall Street Journal and as we watch these baseless proceedings play out, we must not let anyone, or any government, suggest otherwise. It is well past time for Evan to come home. #IStandWithEvan#JournalismIsNotACrime
March 29 marks one year since Even was seized by Russian authorities for doing his job. A year of missed birthdays, holidays, family celebrations, friends. A year without his exceptional journalism. Rest assured, this newsroom will not stop until he is free. #IStandWithEvan
Last Friday marked six months since our colleague Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russia. The London office stands with him today and every day until he is released https://t.co/3dP0G8vSN9 #IStandwithEvan
It’s now been six months since our colleague Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russia. A free press is a cornerstone of our democracy - we all have a stake in this. I stand with Evan and his loved ones in seeking his immediate release #IStandWithEvan
@AvantiWestCoast That is 5 hours I have sat in the sweltering heat on one our your trains this weekend. If the AC was broken on Friday then why wasn’t it fixed by Sunday? These conditions are completely unacceptable considering how much tickets cost.
“We chose one day to show that a single day is a long time. And a 24-hour day in a prison must feel like forever. Evan has been held 112 days. One day is too long. We call on the Russian Government to release him immediately and without conditions,”said President @EileenOReilly10
It really is so powerful to read Evan’s deeply-reported journalism out loud. Evan is a journalist and journalism is not a crime. Up next, @WSJ editor-in-chief @emmatuckerWSJ We are nearly 22 hours into our read-a-thon. https://t.co/9KQGg9UTHU
Today at 8AM ET, Wed. July 19 @PressClubDC and journalists around the globe will participate in a Read-A-Thon to Free Evan Gershkovich. We will read Evan’s journalism to show support for Evan as he passes 100 days in jail https://t.co/HJoxSV5i6K via @YouTube#IStandWithEvan
Today is a day none of us wanted to see. Our hearts are heavy and we remain intensely concerned about Evan, our friend and brilliant colleague. We are absolutely resolute. We will not rest until he is free. #IStandWithEvan#100Days#FreeEvan@WSJ@FreeGershkovich
It has been 100 days since our colleague @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russia – and our thoughts are with him every day. All of us at @DowJones stand with Evan and his loved ones in seeking his immediate release #IStandWithEvan#FreeEvan
Last night 20 of us saved a seat for Evan at the Mets v Yankee game. Evan is a lifelong Mets fan. Last night, whether they supported the Yankees or the Mets, everyone supported Evan. Thank you section 338. 76 days is 76 days too long - let’s bring Evan home. #freeevan #JournalismIsNotACrime #SubwaySeries #istandwithevan #westandwithevan
