7.SOUNDBITE (English) Ella Milman, Evan Gershkovich’s mother:
“We've been able to send letters back and forth, and that gives me comfort to see how strong he is. We are glad he has kept his sense of humor, teasing me that the prison food reminds him of my cooking. We are all very concerned, especially since it's been so long, and we want him to come home as soon as possible.”

9.SOUNDBITE (English) Mikhail Gershkovich, Evan Gershkovich’s father:
“Next week, world leaders will gather here to discuss many important issues. We urge all world leaders to stand with him and what he represents - the basic right to free press and freedom of expression. These rights are bedrock principles of the United Nations.”

If this can happen to my brother, it can happen to any journalist trying to report the news. We just want Evan home, we miss him more and more every day.”
