Friends and colleagues of Evan Gershkovich ’14 visited the Bowdoin campus September 26 to keep the plight of the jailed Wall Street Journal reporter in the spotlight and highlight the ongoing struggle for press freedom in much of the world.

Gershkovich, who was based in Moscow, was arrested by the Russian authorities six months ago while on assignment in the city of Yekaterinburg in the east of the country and charged with espionage, although no evidence has been presented. Today he remains behind bars in Moscow, in pretrial detention for at least another three months, in spite of repeated calls for his release from the White House, US lawmakers, the United Nations, international media organizations, and others.
