Six months since being detained in Russia, U.S. journalist Alsu Kurmasheva has insisted she will walk free "as an innocent person." Kurmasheva, who works for RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service, is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent and spreading misinformation about the Russian military. The charges are widely seen as reprisals for her journalistic work. Her comments were made in a message published by a Tatar-language monthly in Kazan.
