Today is my colleague Evan Gershkovich's 32 birthday. He is unjustly spending it in a Russian prison cell simply because he was doing his job as a journalist.

This is unacceptable—30 weeks of detention for Evan is 30 weeks too long.

Happy Birthday, Evan ♥️
We miss you, and can’t wait to celebrate today and every day with you once you’ve won your freedom.

It's almost unimaginable that my colleague Evan Gershkovich has been wrongfully detained in Russian prison long enough to reach his 32nd birthday today. We must bring him home immediately. #freeevan #istandwithevan

It's been 28 weeks since Evan Gershkovich was wrongly imprisoned in Russia. The Journal says: “The accusation leveled against him is categorically false, and we continue to demand his immediate release.”

I continue to be delighted but surprised that the Kremlin lets Steve Rosenberg stay in the country; he has a dangerously wonderful low-key way of highlighting official inanities, largely by asking the right questions and letting people speak...
