The Wall Street Journal’s Grainne McCarthy says Evan Gershkovich is “truly an inspiration to all of us”, as today marks 400 days since the reporter was jailed in Moscow.

Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich was detained in March last year while on a reporting trip, accused of espionage which he, the media outlet and US government strongly deny.

Mr Gershkovich moved to Russia to report on the country in 2017, first working for the Moscow Times and Agence France-Presse before joining the Wall Street Journal.

The 32-year-old moved to London after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 while still returning for reporting trips.

Grianne says: “A tiny cell in a prison that’s known to try and make its inmates feel isolated.”
