A Russian court convicted Wall Street Journal correspondent Evan Gershkovich on charges of espionage, sentencing him to 16 years in a Russian prison colony. The trial was deemed a sham by his newspaper and the US government.
Gershkovich was accused of collecting secret information about a Russian tank factory on CIA's orders. He and the Wall Street Journal denied the allegations, emphasizing his official accreditation during his reporting assignment.
