Approximately 50 people attended the 'Cook for Evan' event, including friends, colleagues and other supporters, to honor Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
Beloved Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been wrongfully detained in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison for nearly 15 months, was celebrated with a barbecue in Brooklyn on Sunday. Approximately 50 people attended the 'Cook for Evan' event, including friends, colleagues from the WSJ, and other supporters. The BBQ was a demonstration of the ongoing efforts to raise awareness about Gershkovich's detainment, while honoring his love for cooking.
President Biden has called repeatedly for Gershkovich's release to no avail, and the journalist has continually lost appeals to end his pretrial detention. Gershkovich, the American-born son of Soviet immigrants, was detained during a reporting trip in Yekaterinburg, the fourth-largest city in Russia. He was accredited by Russia's Foreign Ministry to report in the country at the time.
