While Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was being handed a 16 year jail term last week, another Russian court was sentencing Radio Free Europe editor Alsu Kurmasheva to 6.5 years in prison.

So are they being arrested and how do the families of those detained manage, often without regular contact with their loved ones?
