Falsely jailed WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich defiantly gives thumbs up as his appeal is rejected AGAIN by cruel Putin

FALSELY imprisoned Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will remain in prison on espionage charges, a Russian court has ruled.

The 32-year-old U.S. citizen was detained in late March 2023 while on a reporting trip and has spent over a year behind bars.

Authorities have routinely extended his time behind bars and rejected his appeals.

His pretrial detention was continued yet again until June 30 in a ruling that he and his lawyers challenged.

In the courtroom on Tuesday, Gerhskovich, wearing a white T-shirt and an open checked shirt, looked relaxed, at times laughing and chatting with members of his legal team.

He gave a heroic thumbs up as he remains locked up on bogus charges which have yet to be backed up by the Russian authorities.
