Today ⁦Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty⁩ PressFreedom Event ⁦Pavel Butorin⁩ says “I cannot understand why Alsu’s case is not declared unjust. She is either held unjustly or the charge is real. What does the government think is the case? We know she has done nothing wrong. #FreeAlsu

180 days behind bars in Russia.. guilty of nothing. Alsu Kurmasheva is: A strong American woman; A loving wife of a good man; the Mom of two great children; a Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist. Russia has the power to end Alsu’s unjust, unfair and wrongful detention. It’s time to #FreeAlsu .

U.S. citizen Alsu Kurmasheva has been wrongfully detained for half a year in Russia because she holds a U.S. passport. It's time the U.S. government said the same. Alsu's family needs her and the world needs journalists who show us the truth. #FreeAlsu

Thank you National Press Club for all the support ... one day soon #FreeAlsu will thank you in person. RFE/RL Pressroom
