The Journal also rejects the espionage charge, calling it a bogus claim. Since Evan was first detained, the media organization has been urging for his safe return. Assistant Editor at The Wall Street Journal, Paul Beckett, joins to bring awareness to Evan's wrongful detention and its implications for all journalists.
