Abstract
- Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is a U.S. citizen, turned 32 while incarcerated in a Russian prison on allegations of espionage. Gershkovich's family is relying on President Biden's promise to secure his release. The U.S. government has designated Gershkovich as wrongfully detained, and Russian courts have rejected appeals by his lawyers. The White House continues to seek his release, despite concerns that other diplomatic efforts may distract from the case. Gershkovich has received awards for press freedom during his imprisonment.
