Russia to hold espionage trial of U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich behind closed doors
The HinduRussia will hold the espionage trial of detained U.S. reporter Evan Gershkovich, who denies charges of collecting secrets for the Central Intelligence Agency, behind closed doors later this month, a court in city of Yekaterinburg said on June 17. "According to the investigation authorities, the American journalist of The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Gershkovich, on the instructions of the CIA, in March 2023, collected secret information in the Sverdlovsk region about the activities of the defence enterprise JSC NPK Uralvagonzavod for the production and repair of military equipment," the Sverdlovsk Regional Court said. Russia has said Mr. Gershkovich was caught "red-handed" and the FSB, the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said he was trying to obtain military secrets. The White House has called the charges "ridiculous" and President Joe Biden has said Mr. Gershkovich's detention is "totally illegal".
