This week, 25 countries signed on to a Media Freedom Coalition⁩ letter condemning the sham trial of our colleague, WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, saying “Mr. Gershkovich’s case is, unfortunately, illustrative of the Kremlin’s choice to launch a systematic assault on media freedom rather than allow honest reporting on its crimes in Ukraine and its repression at home.” Evan has been wrongfully detained for 469 days–with each day an outrage and an affront to press freedom. We will not rest until Evan is home. Read the letter here: https://lnkd.in/eWDxuA7J #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime
