State Media: A Russian court extended WSJ reporter’s detention

A Russian court extended Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s detention by three months. The US citizen was arrested in Russia in a sign of the Kremlin’s crackdown on foreign media news outlets since it invaded Ukraine last year. National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby reacts. #CNN #News

No difference between him and Julian Assange

Meanwhile, an American journalist remains in SBU custody in Ukraine and you pretend he doesn't exist.

The u-haul was pretty obviously a test run for future attacks. Test the barriers.

I hope the SPY - Evan Gershkovich never gets out. He's right where he belongs 👍

As of this second there are some Americans planning to go to Russia, Iran and even North Korea., so ironic

[IICopycatII]

Again I can't possibly understand or believe a company actually left someone in Russia for so long

[lastChang]

When did Putin learn from the Chinese regime about arbitrary detention of foreigners?

As we remember this WSJ, let's also remember Gonzalo Lira a reporter who was arrested in Ukraine as well as others who are being held in detentions the world over.

Who else is tired of CNN turning into Fox News lite since right wing billionaire John Malone took control

Countries that have a reputation for kidnapping foreign citizens are:
- Russia 🇷🇺,
- China 🇨🇳, and
- North Korea 🇰🇵.

I welcome him to seek asylum in my country!

Russia is not the U.S. they don’t have to abide by U.S. law within their own country. Yes, it’s likely wrong, but that’s how they operate. Pull a Britney Griner, bring home, cut our losses. Geez.

[beefree]

Oh, just like the J6 defendants, but it’s unlikely they make this guy stay in a cell with raw sewage, starve, poison or brutally beat him. He must be guilty of a misdemeanor too.

John Kirby's face is very funny. He has to act in comedies...together with Biden.😂

[kyleluster]

Russia :Another arms dealer please . i like the way Russia rolls and total fed bs

[SKk-bgyj]

You can enact an Tehran like operation..ha ha

[Dingleberry]

Trade *Brittany Griner* for the journalist ..
Win / win.

[perrymason]

Time to give Ukraine more weapons and military aid.

It’s too bad he didn’t identify as a woman or play basketball, he’d be out in no time at all!
