A Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested by Russia on spy charges has today been seen in public for the first time since he was detained as he appeared in court for an appeal hearing.
Evan Gershkovich is appealing his detention on spying charges, which are part of a sweeping Kremlin crackdown on dissent amid the war in Ukraine.
The reporter looked calm as he stood inside a glass cage at the Moscow City Court, wearing a checked shirt and keeping his arms folded in front of him.
