 Today in Russia, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in prison. In a statement, the journal called the proceedings a shameful sham trial and promised to continue to push for Mr. Gershkovich's immediate release. The news comes days after the newspaper fired Hong Kong-based reporter Selina Cheng. Ms. Cheng says that prior to her dismissal, supervisors at the Wall Street Journal told her to step down from a leadership position at the local press union, the Hong Kong Journalists Association.
