One Year in Russian Jail for Evan Gershkovich

Evan Gershkovich, seen in this undated photo from the Wall Street Journal, has been jailed in Russia since March 29, 2023, on espionage charges that are widely viewed as baseless and politically motivated.

For the past year, Evan Gershkovich has been confined to a small prison cell, similar in size to the jail’s courtyard — measuring six paces by six paces — that he is allowed in for just one hour each day.
