This Friday marks one year since The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich’s wrongful detention in Russia. To mark this grave milestone, colleagues across News UK and News Corp have been raising awareness of Evan’s plight. On Saturday, there was a global swim-a-thon during which swimmers took to different Brighton-named beaches across the world in a nod to Evan’s affinity for Brighton Beach in Brooklyn and on England’s south coast. In addition, today, there is a Run for Evan, during which colleagues will run 5k along the Thames. There is also a 24-hour read-a-thon, which will see Evan’s friends read his reporting over the course of 24 hours. For the latest updates, please visit wsj.com/Evan. You can also use the #IStandWithEvan hashtag across social media. To learn more about how you can support Evan, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dDTpNR8Q.
