U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison by a Russian court on July 19 after being convicted of espionage. The Wall Street Journal condemned the case as a “sham,” and Gershkovich, who denied any wrongdoing, called the allegations false. He is the first U.S. journalist arrested for spying in Russia since the Cold War. The Biden administration deemed his detention wrongful, and the U.S. Press Department had previously said the charges lacked credibility. Watch the video for more details.
