A Russian court convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on espionage charges, a trial condemned by the US and his employer as a sham, sentencing him to 16 years in prison.
Gershkovich, 32, was detained in March 2023, accused of spying for the US, with the trial concluding swiftly in Russia's highly politicized legal system.
Closing arguments in Gershkovich's espionage trial happened behind closed doors, with the US government and The Wall Street Journal condemning the process as a sham.
