US journalist Evan Gershkovich in court as spy trial starts in Russia | BBC News

[@ljt3084]

Good job it didn't happen in Britain. They would have illegally took him from a foreign embassy locked him up for 5 years without a trial on behalf of another country that had committed war crimes.

[@babalonkie]

You mean when the police are invited in to remove someone who refuses to leave? After running from authorities after admitting breaking the law... then pleads guilty and is released after the UK fought against his extradition and kept him in better conditions than a USA jail... Try harder Vatnyk... the past 10 years you have not achieved a single thing other than destroying your world status... Remind me... what happened to Alexei Navalny!?
