…#US Amb to #Russia Lynne Tracy said…that Evan’s detention is “not about #evidence, #DueProcess, or rule of #law” but about “using American citizens as #pawns to achieve political ends.” The amb may be granting #Putin & his circle too much credit…. #EvanGershkovich is not being held by an ideological superpower playing some great game of chess…. He is being held by #gangsters who consider #hostage-taking normal business practice.
