Evan Gershkovich imprisoned in Russia for one year

Today marks one year since Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich was imprisoned in Russia on espionage charges, a charge the US government and the WSJ deny. To mark this somber anniversary, a large part of the Wall Street Journal's front page was left blank with "His story should be here" written at the top.

When Diaper Don took office in January 2017, he inherited an economy in its 91st month of economic expansion following the end of the Great Recession. The expansion began in June 2009 and is the longest since at least 1854. The 128-month, record-long expansion came to an end and a recession commenced with the pandemic. Diaper Don had a double-dip recession.

Perhaps you should also take a look at the US 's pursuing of Julian Assange, an Australian journalist whistleblower.? He's been held in jail for years.

Odd that a basketball star who broke the law gets out but a reporter is left to rot.

And what did the administration do for the american journalist imprisoned in Ukraine who died in prison due to cruel conditions? His name was Gonzalo lira.

To interview regular Russians, did you listen to the interview? It was real work for the world to know. But. Putin didn't want this info to get out.
