On his country’s Independence Day, thinking especially today of our friend and brilliant colleague, Evan Gershkovich, who instead of being free is in a Russian prison for doing his job. He should be released immediately. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan

- It’s been 29 weeks. Evan was arrested in the spring, spent the summer in captivity and is now facing the winter. All in a Moscow prison for doing his job as a brilliant journalist. It’s an absolute outrage. He should be freed immediately. #IStandWithEvan
- It's an embarrassment of riches that has long stood in contrast with the perennial malaise that many French feel toward France. “Being French is to live in a paradise inhabited by people who think they’re in hell.” wsj.com/articles/covid… via @WSJ @benmorenne
- “I live in fear, but not for myself. Every morning I wake up, cross myself and pray that nothing hits the ICU room.” A children’s hospital in Kyiv is under strain—and doctors are bracing for an influx of casualties. Dispatch from @yarotrof wsj.com/articles/in-a-… via @WSJ
- It’s been 17 weeks of Evan sitting in a Moscow prison for doing his job. He’s an American, a son, a brother, a friend, a colleague, a footballer, a chef. Evan is a journalist and journalism is not a crime. He should be freed immediately. #IStandWithEvan
- It's traditionally the most wonderful time of the year. Our brilliant colleague, Evan Gershkovich, is spending it in a Russian prison, jailed for nearly nine months for doing his job as a reporter. We'll continue to shout from the rooftops until he's free. #IStandWithEvan

- The London newsroom is standing tall with our fiercely-talented @WSJ colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich, today and every day. He has now been locked up in Russia for 12 weeks (84 days), simply for doing his job. It's time to bring him home. #IStandwithEvan #FreeEvan
- Evan is innocent. Evan is a staff reporter of The Wall Street Journal and as we watch these baseless proceedings play out, we must not let anyone, or any government, suggest otherwise. It is well past time for Evan to come home. #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime
