It has been 6 months since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained by Russia during a reporting trip and falsely accused of espionage. The Wall Street Journal and the U.S. government vehemently deny the allegation and continue to call for his immediate release.

Evan’s arrest is a brazen violation of press freedom and not only poses far-reaching consequences for journalism, but for governments and democracies everywhere. A free press is integral to a free society. We all have a stake in this.

Please share Evan’s reporting and the latest updates on his situation by visiting WSJ.com/Evan to help keep his story front and center. Journalism is not a crime, and we will not rest until Evan is released. #IStandWithEvan
