WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from Russian custody. The athlete spent nine months detained after airport authorities discovered a small amount of marijuana in her luggage as she attempted to leave the country following a professional basketball game.
In a statement released by the White House, President Barack Obama welcomed Griner’s release and praised her for her “strength and perseverance.” “Brittney’s long-overdue release is a testament to her strength and perseverance,” Obama said. “I commend her for standing up for herself and others who may have been unfairly detained in Russia.” The President also called on the Russian government to “reform its laws and practices” with regards to drug possession, which he said “unfairly target[s] individuals like Brittney.” “No one should be subjected to detention and mistreatment because of the actions of others,” Obama said.
We are pleased that she will finally be reunited with her family and friends, and we will continue to stand by her as she adjusts to being home. President Barack Obama celebrated Griner’s “long-overdue release”: “Brittney Griner is a talented athlete who has represented our country with distinction on the basketball court. We are pleased that she has been reunited with her family and friends, and we call on the Russian government to release all Americans who are unjustly detained so that they can return home to their loved ones.”
WNBA star Brittney Griner has begun her Russian prison sentence after a judge ruled, she will face nine years behind bars. The decision came in August after the athlete was caught traveling with cannabis oil, which is illegal in Russia. Griner is reportedly facing racism, homophobia and grueling work days in prison. She is said to be working 12-hour shifts in the prison factory and is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world.
According to The Athletic, she is one of only two African-American inmates at the prison, and she has been subjected to racist slurs from both inmates and guards. Griner is also said to be facing homophobic abuse from both inmates and guards. Griner is reportedly struggling to adjust to the conditions and is feeling isolated and alone. Despite the difficult situation, Griner remains positive and is hopeful that she will be released early.
Griner has been outspoken about her sexual orientation and has been an advocate for the LGBT community. She will now be forced to serve her sentence in a country that is notoriously anti-gay Griner’s case highlights the harsh reality of drug laws in many parts of the world. While possession of small amounts of cannabis is often treated lightly in the West, it can still lead to lengthy prison sentences in other parts of the globe.
