@DB_Bahn Eine der bislang absurdesten Ansagen beim Stopp Göttingen : “ich weiß nicht, wie ich Ihnen das jetzt vermitteln soll, aber es wurde für die Weiterfahrt nach Berlin KEIN Personal eingeplant. Die Fahrt endet hier leider. #katastrophenbahn

Today is Evan Gershkovich's birthday. He is spending it in a Moscow prison, wrongfully incarcerated for doing his job. Evan is a beloved son, brother, friend, colleague and gifted journalist. He should be freed immediately. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

[Shayndi Raice @Shayndi]

Hard to believe this innocent man has been suffering in a Russian prison for six months. It’s an outrage and an injustice and everyone should demand his immediate release. #istandwithevan

Painful to see.

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 @WSJ

[Ruth Bender @ruthyberlin]

@germanotes 220 policemen!!!😂

[Jared Malsin @jmalsin]

Evan's mom on flying to Moscow for today's hearing: “I want to scream and say ‘Give me back my son,’” Milman said. “It’s very hard, but I will be there smiling. I will be smiling for Evan, and they are not going to see my tears,” she said. #FreeEvan https://t.co/n8A6Ca5Lq3

12 long weeks already!#FreeEvanGershkovich

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

We’re in the Moscow courtroom where Evan Gershkovich is appealing the extension of his pre-trial detention. It’s 12 weeks since the Wall Street Journal reporter was arrested in Russia and charged with espionage. He & his employer vehemently deny the charge.

[Gráinne McCarthy @grainnemcc]

The London newsroom is standing tall with our fiercely-talented @WSJ 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

[Kate Linebaugh @kate_linebaugh]

One father I am thinking of today is Mikhail Gershkovich whose son Evan - a WSJ journalist - is nearly 3 months in a Russian prison for doing journalism. #FreeEvan #IStandWithEvan

"Any parent who loves their kid would travel to the end of the world to be with them for five minutes." It has been nine weeks since our colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained. We stand with him and his family. https://t.co/f4SbcUUpDt via @WSJ #IStandWithEvan

[Anton Troianovski @antontroian]

Mr. Gershkovich’s parents, Ella Milman and Mikhail Gershkovich, waited for more than an hour outside the courtroom before being allowed into the hearing.

The Boston Globe stands with Evan Gershkovich. Journalism is not a crime. #IStandWithEvan

Day 50. Our friend and colleague, Evan Gershkovich, remains in a Russian prison, unjustly detained. We call for his immediate release. #IStandWithEvan #journalismisnotacrime

"The Pulitzer Prize board joins the many organizations around the world demanding Evan's immediate release. He, like so many others, is doing his job." Co-Chair of the Pulitzer Prize Board Neil Brown on @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich. #IStandWithEvan (via @PulitzerPrizes)

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 нужна одна победа» by Bulat Okudzhava. Russian flags & pro-war symbols were banned last week by German authorities.

[Ruth Bender @ruthyberlin]

Such a strong message of support from the @WSJ newsroom to their colleague, wrongfully detained. #FreeEvanGershkovich #IStandWithEvan
