Here's the WSJ's front page today Evan Gershkovich has been a Russian captive for a year. He's a caring friend, a brilliant colleague and an innocent man. It's beyond time to let him go. Free Evan.
@eliotwb I'm so sorry for Evan, thanks for continue to highlight this injustice.
@eliotwb What about Julian Assange? He's been in a prison for 5 years. If he is convicted, all of investigative journalism could be criminalized by the precedent set. Where is your support for Assange? #FreeAssange
@eliotwb It is sad that Evan has been held for one year and that Paul Whelan has been held since 2018. I believe both to be innocent victims. The Biden administration's inept leadership is not helping. Had they actually broken Russia's laws and had a good jump-shop they would be free.
@eliotwb do you think a company that constantly advocates for pretrial detention in America can also consistently claim that it should not be permissible in Russia
@eliotwb Right?! How about those thousands of Palestinians detained by Israel w no due process? You're also gonna speak up for them, yeah?
@eliotwb Thank you Eliot for the beautifully written and poignant piece on this sad anniversary. wsj.com/world/russia/e…
@eliotwb @mjluxmoore Why are any Americans physically in Russia anyway? They are just exposing themselves to being made hostages or worse. All US citizen travel to Russia should be prohibited.
