Today marks one year since Russia unfairly detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich . Russia still hasn ' t shown any proof of wrongdoing because Evan didn ' t do anything wrong . Journalism isn ' t a crime . In the past year , Russia ' s media environment has become more oppressive , with attacks on independent voices . Like Paul Whelan , who has been in jail for over five years , Evan has stayed strong in Russian detention . The US is determined to bring Evan and Paul back home . People shouldn ' t be used as bargaining tools . Russia needs to stop detaining individuals for political reasons and free Evan and Paul immediately .
