Family of US reporter says 'journalism is not a crime'

The family of Evan Gershkovich on Wednesday said that the American journalist, on trial in Russia for espionage, was being unfairly prosecuted for actions taken while reporting.

"Evan is a journalist, and journalism is not a crime," the family said in a statement. "We urge the US government to continue to do everything possible to bring Evan home now."
