Russia can lock up our colleague Evan and put him on sham trial. But they cannot take his dignity. We shave our heads in solidarity. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

Verdict in the Evan Gershkovich case to be announced today at 1300 London time. The prosecution has requested an 18-year prison sentence in a high-security penal colony. Evan pleads not guilty. The trial has been dismissed as a ‘sham’ by US officials & the WSJ.

NEW: Russia is seeking an 18-year prison term for Wall Street Journal The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. His sentencing is likely later today. The trial is, of course, a sham, the accusations nonsense, and Evan a political hostage.

The 16-year prison sentence against The Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich is the antithesis of justice. A politically motivated and sham trial. Journalism is not a crime. Evan must be released immediately. #FreeEvanGershkovich

I strongly condemn the verdict in the sham trial of Evan Gershkovich for the only “crime” of being a journalist, and call on the Russian government for his immediate release. My thoughts are with Evan and his family during this difficult time. We must continue to work to ensure

Hell of a thing to see this guy last night at Andrew’s airbase. The first thing he said to me ⁦drew hinshaw⁩ was; “I hear you have a great story today.”

WSJ's @Eliotwb on the release of his friend Evan Gershkovich: "I would literally have nightmares about it," but his humor gave them hope. To keep Evan in the news "we swam in the ocean in Feb..we'd have runs for him. We served Evan Burgers" #Mediabuzz tinyurl.com/5h6tr8sv
