MOSCOW. May 23 (Interfax) - The parents of The Wall Street Journal's Moscow bureau correspondent Evan Gershkovich have arrived in Russia, where their son is under criminal investigation.
"The parents of the accused were present in the courtroom on Tuesday," the Lefortovsky District Court's press service said, responding to a question from Interfax.
The relatives were let into the courthouse but did not attend the hearing, which was closed to the public due to the classified nature of the case, the spokesperson said.
The reporter's defense team, in a conversation with Interfax, has declined to comment on the situation.
