The mother of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has expressed concerns about her son's well-being in a Russian prison. Ella Milman described the conditions at Lefortovo Prison in Moscow as "very hard" and compared it to a "Stalin-era" facility. Gershkovich has been detained since March 2023 on charges of espionage, which the United States considers to be wrongful. Milman stated that her son is doing his best to stay strong and keeps his "spirits up," but they are worried about him. Gershkovich's imprisonment has garnered international attention and highlighted the dangers faced by journalists in authoritarian countries. Despite the challenging circumstances, he continues to communicate with his family through letters and meets with his Russian lawyers regularly, as well as receiving monthly visits from the U.S. ambassador.
