A Russian court has rejected an appeal by Russian nationalist Igor Girkin against his imprisonment, according to RIA. Meanwhile, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich remains detained in Russia, marking 14 months since his arrest on March 29, 2023. Gershkovich's detention has sparked international support campaigns, with many advocating for his release. Another journalist, Alsu Kurmasheva, who holds both Russian and U.S. citizenship, has had her pre-trial detention extended until August 5 by a Russian court. This extension is part of a broader crackdown on dissent and free speech in Russia. Additionally, Marc Fogel, a Pennsylvania history teacher, has been imprisoned in Russia for 1,019 days, with concerns rising over his deteriorating health. Reports also indicate that at least 29 Ukrainian civilian journalists are currently in Russian captivity, facing severe conditions including solitary confinement and torture.
