Russia to Try U.S. Reporter Evan Gershkovich for Espionage
----------------------------------------------------------

Russian authorities say Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich
will stand trial on espionage charges in Yekaterinburg, where he was
arrested in March of last year. The Wall Street Journal's CEO and
publisher slammed the "sham trial," adding, "Journalism is not a crime."
If convicted, Gershkovich faces up to 20 years in prison.
