Detained US journalist Evan Gershkovich has retained his “fighting spirit,” his lawyer tells AFP after the Wall Street Journal reporter was denied bail in Russia.
“He has a fighting spirit. He’s working out and he knows that people are supporting him,” Maria Korchagina, one of his lawyers, says after the hearing.
