Russia accuses Evan Gershkovich of spying, a claim the reporter, the Wall Street Journal and the U.S. government have denied.
Friday marks 100 days since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia while on a reporting trip.
Gershkovich's parents spoke with the Wall Street Journal about the frustrations of being unable to get their son back. The family said they have been able to keep in touch with Evan through letters. On two occasions, they traveled from the U.S. to Russia to see him in court. In June, by their surprise, they were able to talk to Evan, who was standing inside a glass box in the courtroom. "I was just beside myself, so happy," Evan's mother, Ella Milman, said."We were in deeply in our conversation, we were smiling and laughing and the guard brought me back to reality.
