Friday will mark one year since our friend and The Wall Street Journal colleague Evan Gershkovich was wrongfully detained in Russia. On Sunday, I ran a half-marathon to mark this outrageous anniversary. Today, we run in locations across the world. #IRunForEvan #IStandWithEvan
48 WEEKS. Our friend and The Wall Street Journal colleague, Evan Gershkovich, has been in a Russian prison for almost 11 months—in his cell 23 hours a day. For no crime at all. He's a journalist, and he deserve to be free. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan
Seeing Evan’s spirit shining through in such horrendous circumstances is an inspiration to us all. It’s an absolute outrage that he has spent more than ten months of his life in prison. We will not rest until he’s released. (Photo Alexander Zemlianichenko,AP) #IStandWithEvan The Wall Street Journal
32 WEEKS. Think about how much has happened in your life since March. Now think about spending that in a Russian prison.
Pls help us call for the release of our wrongfully detained The Wall Street Journal colleague Evan Gershkovich. Bring him home. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime
It's 224 days since our The Wall Street Journal colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia. Thinking about everything that's happened since late March makes you realize how much has missed, and how much he IS missed by us, his family and friends. #IStandWithEvan #IRunForEvan
Happy birthday to our colleague Evan Gershkovich, who is marking his 32nd bday as he sits in Moscow’s Lefortovo Prison.
This pic is from a home video that his parents shared when he was first detained. Praying they can celebrate his next bday with him in person 🙏🏼 #IStandWithEvan
'I think it keeps Evan's spirits up to know that we are working on his behalf.' The Wall Street Journal World Coverage Chief Gordon Fairclough (@gefairclough) speaks to CNN about WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich on the six month mark of Evan's detention. #IStandWithEvan
This time last year Evan Gershkovich and I were reporting some of the most important stories about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
This year, he’s watching the seasons change through prison bars. We miss him, he deserves to be free #ISTANDWITHEVAN bit.ly/48rvqXD

Evan Gershkovich’s friends and colleagues are reading out his work for 24-hours, demonstrating that even a day detained for doing your job is unacceptable. #IStandWithEvan

“Evan’s coverage is not just about a war and how it affects people in Russia and in Ukraine but is part of a team that’s bringing us a global story,” says Evan’s The Wall Street Journal colleague Aaron Zitner. We’ve now been reading for 1h 30m #IStandWithEvan

Policies of #UAE & HH محمد بن زايد are pragmatic & make complete sense for #UnitedArabEmirates & the complex region it is located in.
#Biden Administration should recognize that 📷 is a great asset for 📷 & act accordingly.
