 Gershkovich faces a closed trial, with no reporters, family, or even U.S. Embassy representatives allowed to observe proceedings that could see him sentenced to 20 years in prison if convicted. Yet journalists were allowed brief access to the courtroom, where they saw Gershkovich, looking healthy but with his head shaved, standing in a glass cage. Prosecutors accused Gershkovich of collecting secret information about a Russian tank factory on the orders of the CIA. Gershkovich, the journal, and the U.S. government all reject the espionage charge.
