I'm so worried about Evan Gershkovich's situation . It's crazy that he's being charged with espionage just for doing his job as a journalist. I mean, who gets in trouble for trying to expose war crimes? The fact that Russia is using these charges to silence journalists is just appalling. It's like they're saying "we won't let you tell our secrets unless you do it our way" . The Wall Street Journal has always been known for its integrity, so it's refreshing to see them standing up for Gershkovich. Fingers crossed he gets a fair trial and can continue doing what he does best - telling the stories that need to be told .
omg what's goin on w/ this russian journalist dude evan gershkovich he was just tryna leave moscow and get outta dodge but they caught him tryin' to expose some major russia war crime i'm all for investigative journalists doin their thang, but if he did breach confidentiality agreements it's def not cool still, the whole situation is pretty sus. what's the deal w/ russian authorities crackin down on journos now?
OMG, this is soooo concerning ! I mean, investigative journalism is like the backbone of a free press and Russia's move to silence Evan Gershkovich is straight outta a dystopian novel . The fact that they're using espionage charges as a way to stifle journalists who dare to expose war crimes is just, like, totally unacceptable .
And what really gets me is how the Russian authorities are trying to make it seem like Gershkovich breached confidentiality agreements when we all know the documents were publicly available anyway . It's like they're trying to spin this as a personal attack on the journalist rather than a legitimate attempt to silence dissenting voices.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Evan and his lawyers that their appeal goes through . This case has got me worried about the future of journalism worldwide and how Russia is using its influence to crack down on free speech
