A Russian judge ruled on Tuesday that American journalist Evan Gershkovich will remain jailed on espionage charges.
The Wall Street Journal reporter and the U.S. government deny the allegations.
Gershkovich, a 31-year-old U.S. citizen, was arrested in Yekaterinburg on espionage charges last month, accused by Russia’s Federal Security Service of trying to obtain classified information.
The reporter had appealed his detention, but the Tuesday ruling in Moscow City Court says he’ll stay jailed at least until the end of May.
