A Moscow court on Tuesday extended the detention of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich until January, Russian news agencies said.
The court said 32-year-old Gershkovich’s period of detention was extended by two more months until January 30.
The US journalist was arrested in late March in Russia on espionage charges.
The hearing was held behind closed doors and no press were allowed inside, with authorities maintaining that the details of the case against him are classified.
Russia has not publicly presented evidence to support its accusations against Gershkovich.
The journalist, along with his employer and the US government, have denied the allegations.
