ukraine, gaza and elsewhere can be dangerous. at least 78 journalists were killed worldwide last year, most of them in gaza. and that is not the only danger they face. there is also the threat of prison. the committee to protect journalists says that it has documented 320 cases where reporters or their crews were behind bars around the world at the saturday of this year. and that includes 22 in russia. seth doane has one family's story. >> my mom is definitely my biggest inspiration, and i just miss her like more than i can possibly say, and i worry about her safety so much. >> reporter: 15-year-old bibi butorin has not been here at home with her mom in prague since last spring. >> so lovely. >> reporter: in a recent family trip to america -- >> this box checked? >> yes. >> reporter: seems like a distant memory. these are the latest images she's seen of her mother, alsu

kurmasheva, an american russian journalist who's now detained in russia. >> did you worry about your mom going to russia? >> i think we all understood that it was a risk. but she was only going to go for two weeks and it was for my sick grandmother. >> reporter: kurmasheva was about to return in june from that personal trip to kazan when russian authorities confiscated her passports. she'd not reported her u.s. citizenship. she was permitted to stay with her mom until october. >> masked police officers came knocking on her mother's apartment door, and they took her away. >> reporter: it's turned pavel butorin into a single dad of sorts. teir girls both have u.s. citizenship like their mom. >> she is in jail in russia because she is an american citizen and because she's a journalist. and it seems like the russian government is building more cases against her. >> reporter: kurmasheva's pretrial detention was extended

until april 5th. she's facing charges of failure to self-register as a foreign agent and disseminating false information about the russian army, which could mean prison sentences of up to five and ten years respectively. >> this is the book that alsu is listed as an editor on. you think this was the problem? >> i know that this book is a problem. it's featured in her case file. >> reporter: this book is filled with stories of kind of everyday people who oppose russia's invasion of ukraine. >> there's nothing incendiary, nothing criminal about these stories. there's no calls for violence in the book. it's just opinions. not even alsu's opinions but as a journalist she certainly has the right to collect and publish any opinions. >> reporter: butorin and kurmasheva are both journalists with the prague-based radio free europe radio liberty, or rferl. it's funded by u.s. taxpayers

but is editorially independent and reports news in 27 languages and 23 countries, including iran and afghanistan. >> when freedom of expression is being shut down in one place after another after another, when the lights are turned out in one place we turn them back on. >> reporter: steve cappish is president. >> our place is committed to the fundamental practice of accurate journalism where it might not otherwise be practiced these days. >> does that put your people in particular risk? >> it does. >> reporter: cappish, who's worked at cbs and nbc, keeps photos of kurmasheva and three other rferl journalists who are currently detained. one in russian-controlled crimea and two in belarus. next to pictures of reporters who've died while on duty. >> it has a way of kind of grabbing you and making you pay attention and realize there's an

awful lot at stake here now and never forget that they need to come home. >> they're in regular contact with the "wall street journal." its reporter, 32-year-old american evan gershkovich, is also detained in russia, arrested on espionage charges. >> many americans have not heard of alsu. why is alsu's name not as familiar to americans? >> it should be. president biden brought her up by name at the end of december. all of us are working our contacts to get as much attention for her case as we can. >> are you following alsu's case? >> we are following her case, and it's extremely worrying. >> reporter: jody ginsberg runs the committe to protect journalists in new york. are these types of charges new? >> since the full-scale invasion of ukraine in 2022 we see them much more frequently. new laws are brought in that

make it extremely difficult to report on the war. even calling it a war can bring you a jail sentence. >> reporter: globally they figure there are 320 journalists jailed for their work. most are imprisoned for reporting in their own countries. nearly half in these five nations. >> and that's i think a reflection of the democratic decline we've seen over a number of years. >> reporter: of the foreign journalists detained worldwide, 12 of the 17 are jailed in russia. ginsberg calls it state-sponsored hostage taking. >> there's a twofold effect when you arrest a journalist, particularly when you arrest a journalist with foreign citizenship, as we see in alsu and evan's case. you have a political prisoner, so you have someone with which to negotiate with the u.s. but this kind of action sends a powerful message to all journalists that they are not welcome. >> reporter: the u.s. classifies

gershkovich as wrongfully detained but has not yet given that stat tous kurmasheva. the state department told us it's deeply concerned about kurmasheva's detention and continues to seek access to her, noting it reviews circumstances surrounding the detentions of u.s. nationals overseas. >> what happens when you designate an individual, a u.s. citizen as wrongfully detained is you bring more resources from the government on their case. and now we really need to make her case as well known as evan is. it's really important, both of them and all the journalists wrongfully detained are freeze. >> reporter: efforts to raise kurmasheva's profile are under way. from a billboard in times square -- >> we want her to be released immediately. >> reporter: -- to a much smaller scale, a group of friends gathering at a prague restaurant. todd benson is from seattle. >> how do you think pavel and the girls are doing?

>> they show a great face. but i think deep down they're hurting. >> reporter: and that hurt surfaced while pavel butorin was reading a note his wife sent from jail. >> celebrate freedom and love. alsu. >> reporter: declaring her wrongfully detained is up to the u.s. government, and ultimately alsu kurmasheva's fate is to be decided by the russians. >> i'm sorry. >> reporter: so nor now he tries to control what he can. >> i need to keep it together. i don't want emotion to get involved. >> but i think anyone would understand being emotional. >> maybe that's what they want. maybe they want us to break down and surrender and give up. i'm not going to give up. we will not rest until we see alsu here with her family at home. >> that was seth doane. and this is the "cbs overnight

from? japan, of course. where raising and selling koi carp is a big business. elizabeth palmer reports. >> reporter: just a hint of food can start a feeding frenzy at the niigata koi museum. >> they look fierce and determined. partly beautiful and partly scenes from a nightmare. >> reporter: they can't bite, though. their teeth are way back in their throats. in fact, koi carp are loved and admired, especially for their size and bright markings. with the right food and care they can live for decades. in traditional japanese art they are graceful symbols of luck and longevity. originally, wild koi were nothing like these. they were mostly black and used for food in the japanese countryside. but about 100 years ago farmers began to breed them to bring out the colored markings. >> reporter: what began as a hobby became big business.

japan exported almost $50 million worth of koi last year. >> it's almost like magic, you can say, to create a fish like this. >> reporter: ben plonski is president of laguna koi ponds of california and a judge at the annual all-japan koi show in tokyo. basically, it's a fish beauty pageant that druaws connoisseur from all over the world. this yard-long female won best in show. >> so when you were judging this, what were you looking for and what impressed you? size. i get it. >> it's a fish first. so it has to have good body confirmation and you can see bone structure. >> reporter: and of course those colored splotches. >> and the pattern needs to fit the fish like on the face area needs to be a cute face, maybe a hat or a beret, something kind of cute and unique because this i his face. this is where he greets you. so this is what you first -- what you first see and fall in love with is their face.

>> reporter: in winter snow blankets the mud ponds of nishigata in northern japan where baby koi start out. but shigo has moved them safely indoors. >> do you have a favorite? >> oh. many favorite in here. >> reporter: in japanese they're called nishikigoi. brocaded carp like swimming jewels. >> just try to touch. >> reporter: but they're simpler to admire than to wrangle. >> she don't like you. >> she doesn't like me. >> reporter: but she definitely knew a safe pair of hands. tanaka's koi are famous, and a group of buyers from thailand have arrived to make an order. once upon a time most koi customers were japanese. no longer. these days many of the best fish will be shipped to the u.s., which is the second largest koi importer in the world.

why is that? partly it's space. america, unlike japan, has room for koi fish ponds. >> she's cute. >> reporter: but there is something else. just ask ben plonski. >> come here, look at baby. >> they're so gentle. there's plenty of people who love dogs and love cats and a lot of people who love fish. >> reporter: seduced by that old koi charisma. >> elizabeth palmer in tokyo. the "overnight news" is back in two minutes.
