Wall Street Journal Calls for Release of Wrongfully Detained Reporter in Russia After 100 Days

Journalist Evan Gershkovich has been imprisoned in Moscow for 100 days on false charges of espionage.
The White House and Gershkovich's family are advocating for his release and hopeful prisoner exchange talks with Russia will lead to a resolution.
Press freedom groups and media organizations around the world have condemned Gershkovich's detainment and called for his immediate release.
Gershkovich's reporting focused on daily life in Russia and the country's economy but he was arrested while investigating Russian mercenaries.
If convicted, Gershkovich faces up to 20 years in a Russian penal colony though the charges against him have been deemed baseless by all parties involved except the Kremlin.
