He stood in a glass and metal enclosure inside the courtroom on Tuesday, wearing a checked shirt with his arms folded in front of him. He did not say anything. Gershkovich is the first US journalist detained in Russia on espionage charges since the end of the cold war. The Wall Street Journal has denied he was involved in espionage, as has Washington.
