Russia said it had rejected a request from U.S. officials in Moscow to visit jailed WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich next month in retaliation for the recent denial of U.S. visas to Russian journalists
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it had rejected a request from U.S. officials in Moscow to visit jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich next month in retaliation for the recent denial of U.S. visas to Russian journalists wanting to travel to New York.
“Such sabotage, aimed at preventing normal journalistic work, will not remain unanswered,” the ministry said. “In this regard, the U.S. Embassy is informed that its request for a consular visit to Mr. Gershkovich on May 11…is rejected.” Mr. Gershkovich, 31 years old, was detained on March 29 by Russia’s Federal Security Service, or FSB, while he was on a reporting trip in the city of Yekaterinburg and held on an allegation of espionage that The Wall Street Journal and the U.S. government vehemently deny.
