A court in Moscow extended by three months the pretrial detention of Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter deemed by the U.S. to be wrongfully held in Russia.
In a closed hearing at Lefortovo District Court, a judge granted the request of investigators from the Federal Security Service, or FSB, that Gershkovich remain behind bars awaiting trial until Nov. 30, according to a court spokeswoman.
The proceedings took place behind closed doors, with no media allowed inside the courtroom.
