Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will spend October 26, his 32nd birthday, in a Russian prison.
In March, Evan was arrested by Russia simply for doing his job as a journalist. He has been wrongfully detained for more than six months, falsely accused of espionage.
His sister Danielle, who lives in Philadelphia, spoke with Action News about her brother and the ongoing efforts to secure his release."I know he's doing his best to keep his spirits up. But, I know he has to work very hard at it. So he does the best he can to fill his time as much as he can," Danielle Gershkovich said. "My family and I have written him really sappy, emotional birthday letters.
As for Danielle's plans with her brother once he does return, "I can't wait. We'll go to a baseball game. We'll go to a Union game. I'll get a beer."
