Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich's trial for espionage charges in Russia will begin on June 26 in the Sverdlovsky Regional Court, the court announced on Monday.
"Evan has done nothing wrong," U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said last week. "He should never have been arrested in the first place. Journalism is not a crime. The charges against him are false. And the Russian government knows that they’re false. He should be released immediately."
If convicted, Gershkovich could face 20 years in prison.
