WNBA star Brittney Griner has been moved to a Russian forced labor camp, months after the basketball player was arrested in Russia for allegedly possessing cannabis oil.
The development is the latest update after Griner’s appeal ofher 9-year sentence wasdenied by a Russian court last month. The White House released a statement early Wednesday morning condemning the move.
“Every minute that Brittney Griner must endure wrongful detention in Russia is a minute too long,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in the statement.
“As the Administration continues to work tirelessly to secure her release, the President has directed the Administration to prevail on her Russian captors to improve her treatment and the conditions she may be forced to endure in a penal colony,” the statement continued.
“The U.S. Government is unwavering in its commitment to its work on behalf of Brittney and other Americans detained in Russia – including fellow wrongful detainee Paul Whelan,” Jean-Pierre concluded.
Why the "allegedly possessing cannabis oil." I thought she admitted it? And if she did then guilty is what she is... no reason to waste any more time on her.
Russia is autocratic State,best to know the laws before you step in it. It won't be long if you are in gun friendly state and fly in with a firearm without checking where you will be then you will be charged & held just like her in The So called United States!
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I bet she would gladly come back to America and stand for the National Anthem instead

That is the dumbest thing this dummy spokesbimbo has ever said! Griner admitted to the pot oil, she was convicted based upon her admission. How is that a "wrongful detention"???
The folks I feel bad for are the Jan 6 folks locked in solitary with out proper medical care, lack of lawyers and facing a Federal Monster Government hell bent on destroying their lives for the admittedly stupid non-violent acts of walking in through a door held open by a Police Officer.

Then again, maybe not.

Or in this case, you mess with the bear, you get the claw?

As my old math teacher used to say 65 years ago when one of us gave an incorrect answer "A strong back is a terrible thing to waste".
When is it being covered
I bet she would gladly come back to America and stand for the National Anthem instead
She is going to meet a new wife..............her name will be Olga.............and she will be treated to "Olga's delights"............
