Evan Gershkovich timeline: Wrongfully detained by Russia for one year

Friday marks the one-year anniversary of Russian authorities wrongfully detaining Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.

Why it matters: Gershkovich has now spent 366 days behind bars on sham charges, with no indication of when he may be freed or whether a trial will be held. He is the the first U.S. journalist that Russia has arrested and accused of espionage since the Cold War.

The latest: In a letter published in the Wall Street Journal on Friday, his family wrote that the past year "has been unimaginable for our family in so many ways."

"We will continue fighting for Evan's freedom, whatever it takes," they added.

Here's a timeline of how we got here.
