32 WEEKS. Think about how much has happened in your life since March. Now think about spending that in a Russian prison. Pls help us call for the release of our wrongfully detained The Wall Street Journal colleague Evan Gershkovich. Bring him home. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime
It's 224 days since our The Wall Street Journal colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia. Thinking about everything that's happened since late March makes you realize how much has missed, and how much he IS missed by us, his family and friends. #IStandWithEvan #IRunForEvan
Seeing Evan’s spirit shining through in such horrendous circumstances is an inspiration to us all. It’s an absolute outrage that he has spent more than ten months of his life in prison. We will not rest until he’s released. (Photo Alexander Zemlianichenko,AP) #IStandWithEvan The Wall Street Journal
