US calls for release of Russian-American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva

The United States called Monday for the release of US-Russian journalist Alsu Kurmasheva, sentenced to more than six years in prison for violating strict military censorship laws.

"She's a dedicated journalist who is being targeted by Russian authorities for her uncompromising commitment to speaking the truth and her principled reporting... we continue to make very clear that she should be released," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
