Lawyers for jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich visited him on Tuesday for the first time, according to the newspaper, nearly a week after Russian authorities arrested the American journalist on spying allegations.
“We are encouraged that Evan’s lawyers … were able to meet with him in prison today,” the Journal’s editor in chief Emma Tucker wrote in an email to the newsroom. “Evan’s health is good, and he is grateful for the outpouring of support from around the world. We continue to call for his immediate release.”
