Russia EXTENDS Wall St Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's detention

A Russian court has extended by three months after he was accused of spying.

The 31-year-old was arrested on March 29 in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg and charged with espionage which carries a possible 20-year prison sentence.

The Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, accused him of collecting state secrets about the military industrial complex while reporting in the country.
