Message from the Publisher

Evan Gershkovich of the Wall Street Journal has been imprisoned by Russia’s government. Gershkovich, a fully credentialed journalist, was arrested for doing his job—reporting on life in Russia as that country moves steadily into autocracy. Democratic societies thrive only when a free press is able to publish stories about the powerful interests in any country. Join us in demanding Evan’s release. Publicize his imprisonment by posting about it on social media in your country. And you can write him a message of support. Send email to: freegershkovich@ gmail.com. Your message will be translated into Russian as is required by law before being reviewed by censors.
