MOSCOW: Perbicaraan seorang wartawan Wall Street Journal (WSJ) yang ditahan di Rusia atas tuduhan mengintip akan bermula pada 26 Jun di bandar Yekaterinburg, kata Mahkamah Wilayah Sverdlovsk pada Isnin.

Pendengaran kes jenayah terhadap rakyat Amerika Syarikat (AS) Evan Gershkovich akan diadakan secara tertutup, lapor Agensi Anadolu.

"Mahkamah Wilayah Sverdlovsk telah menerima kes jenayah terhadap warganegara Amerika Syarikat Evan Gershkovich. ... proses itu akan dijalankan secara tertutup. Pendengaran pertama kes itu dijadualkan pada 26 Jun. Hakim Andrey Mineev akan mengendalikan kes ini," kata kenyataan akhbar itu.

Gershkovich telah ditahan di Rusia pada Mac 2023 atas tuduhan pengintipan.

Consider This: Multidimensional Poverty in the 21st Century

Despite decades of progress, poverty continues to trap millions in cycles of deprivation, and conventional measures often fail to reflect the full scope of their struggles. The Multidimensional Poverty Index, developed by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, offers a revolutionary way to understand and address poverty by looking at deprivations in education, health, and living standards. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Professor Dr Sabina Alkire, Director of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. Together with Professor James Foster, she developed the Alkire-Foster method for measuring multidimensional poverty.
