Parents Plead with Biden to Fulfill Promise and Bring Son Home After 250 Days of 'Wrongful' Imprisonment in Russia
-
Evan Gershkovich's parents plead with Biden to fulfill his promise to bring their son home from wrongful imprisonment in Russia. He has now been detained for 250 days.
-
A Russian court recently extended Gershkovich's pre-trial detention until January 2024 based on dubious espionage charges.
-
The Biden administration has designated Gershkovich as "wrongfully detained" and says it is working to secure his release, but his parents feel not enough effort has been made.
-
Gershkovich's mother directly appealed to Biden to keep his promise and concentrate efforts on freeing her son after 250 days of unjust detention.
-
Gershkovich is staying physically and mentally strong in prison by exercising, reading, and maintaining his sense of humor, but his family urgently wants more action to get him home.
