There is plenty of reason to think their status as journalists was relevant to their arrests. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/mar/30/russia-arrests-wall-street-journal-reporter-on-espionage-charges-evan-gershkovich https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/american-journalist-detained-russia-alsu-kurmasheva-foreign-agent-rcna121173
