US Journalist Evan Gershkovich to Face Espionage Trial in Russia

Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter, has been detained for over a year on charges widely condemned as baseless.

Russian prosecutors have indicted Evan Gershkovich, setting the stage for a trial in Yekaterinburg.
The Wall Street Journal and the US government assert that the espionage charges are unfounded.
Gershkovich could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
The trial is expected to be held in secret due to alleged classified material.
US officials continue to push for Gershkovich's release, denouncing his detention as wrongful.
