WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich marks one year in Russian jail

Evan Gershkovich's arrest in Russia had a chilling effect on media coverage, leading several western news outlets to pull their reporters out of the country.

Scripps News sat down with Wall Street Journal Assistant Editor Paul Beckett, whose full-time job now is to work on getting his colleague home. #IStandWithEvan

Bring home our marine being held there.

[izzywizzy]

We have some folks not even given a trial yet and not being charged with any violent crime still sitting in jail right here in the USA too without an option for bond. Some have been tortured, treated poorly on many levels and more. All for being in DC on J6. I don’t care who it is or what they believe the fact is they are being held for years with no trial, a lack of access to counsel and so much more yet the press just ignores those cases.

[RADARTechie]

too bad we are out of notorious arms dealers amirite?

[nononsense]

And the White House negotiated the release of a basketball player with doubtful record.

[jayess]

How about Julian Assange?
The wall Street Journal is a rag and this man is a chump!

[donaldsalkovick]

He found out you cant get away with garbage like he can in the states

[golflre]

Yeah, get a bball player out, but a white citizen gets no attention from Biden. Priorities.

[cesaromarlugocecena]

Why does the United States does not like when things get turned around

[robertlevy]

Shouldn't he have known better than to be there! Why WSJ sponsored his presence in this obviously foolish endeavor. Great risk > short reward. Burden to others with little real impact! Martyr syndrome???

[chrislebowski]

Don’t worry, we got Brittney Griner back.

[jerrycombs]

Trump will bring BOTH of them home if he’s re-elected, I promise you

[YUMLiberalTears]

He deserves it for calling himself a "reporter" for the WSJ.

[patcline]

Russia not gonna let that marine or him go thank a democrat

[TessBoze]

*Professor of psychiatry Sam Vaknin with a specialities in narcissistic and borderline personality disorders, has met this journalist and has pleaded that others write the Russian embassies and appeal to them for his release immediately as a member of the FOURTH ESTATE AND AS SUCH PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION*
*SEE THE ABOVE PINNED INFORMATION FROM SCRIPPS*

The man is probably also employed by a 3 letter agency that starts with a C and ends in an A.Just saying.
It's hard to dance around all these ewe toob algorithms and try to make an honest statement.

[talitm]

He would have been already if free if he was a black lesbian basketball player....

[anthonybeaulieu]

Political prisoners like the incarcerated patriots who demonstrated in DC on J6. The ambassador wasn’t thinking of them.

[jerrycombs]

Almost like we shouldn’t alienate our enemies’ especially when we need to sit at a table with them

[bobross]

CIA Man knew what he was signing up for, .
they filled him when he was briefed at Langley

[TessBoze]

Please share this request for letters to release an international journalist held by RUSSIA BECAUSE PUTIN IS A SAD BAD MAN RIGHT NOW.
