Russia sentences US reporter Gershkovich to 16 years jail

US reporter Evan Gershkovich was sentenced by a Russian court on Friday to 16 years in a strict penal colony, according to an AFP reporter in the court.

The verdict was reached after a closed-door espionage trial -- slammed as a "sham" by the White House and his employer, the Wall Street Journal -- in Yekaterinburg, the city where he was arrested in March 2023.
