Evan Gershkovich will stay in jail until November 30, according to the ruling

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will stay behind bars for another three months, the Lefortovo court in Moscow has decided. The US citizen, who was arrested in Russia in late March, is facing espionage charges.

“By a court ruling in relation to Gershkovich, the detention period was extended by three months... until November 30, 2023,” the court’s press service said on Thursday.

The hearing took place behind closed doors due to the materials of the criminal case against the American journalist being classified.
