Evan Gershkovich, the first American to face espionage charges in Russia since 1986, will remain in jail until at least Nov. 30.
Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich lost an appeal Tuesday to be released from jail on espionage charges, meaning he will remain behind bars at least through Nov. 30.
It was the second time in less than a month he had appeared before a judge to appeal an August decision to extend his pre-trial detention through November. On Sept. 19, the court declined to hear the appeal, citing unspecified procedural violations. The journalist was detained in March while on a reporting trip to the city of Yekaterinburg, about 1,200 miles east of Moscow.
Gershkovich and the Journal deny the allegations, and the U.S. government has declared him to be wrongfully detained. Russian authorities haven't detailed any evidence to support the espionage charges.
