PUBLICATION DAY!
My book on the Afghanistan war was 8 years in the works and it's surreal to finally share it with you. TWENTY YEARS tells the story of the war through the people it affected the most: young Afghans with very different lives and fates

WSJ's @Eliotwb on the release of his friend Evan Gershkovich: "I would literally have nightmares about it," but his humor gave them hope. To keep Evan in the news "we swam in the ocean in Feb..we'd have runs for him. We served Evan Burgers" #Mediabuzz tinyurl.com/5h6tr8sv

Hell of a thing to see this guy last night at Andrew’s airbase.
The first thing he said to me @drewhinshaw was; “I hear you have a great story today.”
Hook Evan freedom content to my veins

I strongly condemn the verdict in the sham trial of Evan Gershkovich for the only “crime” of being a journalist, and call on the Russian government for his immediate release. My thoughts are with Evan and his family during this difficult time. We must continue to work to ensure the safety and freedom of the press worldwide.
Evan Gershkovich was falsely convicted of espionage today in Moscow
He's been in jail for nearly 16 months, held as a political hostage
I wrote a piece today on Evan, my friend and colleague, who yearned to cover Russia and tell us its story

The 16-year prison sentence against @WSJ journalist @evangershkovich is the antithesis of justice.
A politically motivated and sham trial.
Journalism is not a crime. Evan must be released immediately.

A court in Yekaterinburg has convicted Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in a high security penal colony. The trial has been dismissed as a ‘sham’ by US officials & the WSJ.

Verdict in the Evan Gershkovich case to be announced today at 1300 London time. The prosecution has requested an 18-year prison sentence in a high-security penal colony. Evan pleads not guilty. The trial has been dismissed as a ‘sham’ by US officials & the WSJ.

NEW: Russia is seeking an 18-year prison term for Wall Street Journal @WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich. His sentencing is likely later today. The trial is, of course, a sham, the accusations nonsense, and Evan a political hostage.
Free Evan!!
Closing arguments in the trial of U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich will be held Friday, the Russian court trying him says. apnews.com/article/russia-us…

Russia can lock up our colleague Evan and put him on sham trial. But they cannot take his dignity. We shave our heads in solidarity. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan
