BEHIND BARS IN RUSSIA FOR

Griner’s Detention

BEHIND BARS IN RUSSIA FORBRITTANY GREINER. RUSSIA STATE MEDIA ANNOUNCED HER DETENTION STARTED ALMOST 4 MONTHS AGO AND HAS BEEN EXTENDED YET AGAIN.
FOR HER TO COME HOME IS NUMBER ONE ON OUR LIST. BUTT NEWS COMES JUST A DAY AFTER HER TEAM MEMBERS MET WITH STATE DEPARTMENT. PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON THIS. IT GIVES US A LOT OF CONFIDENCE KNOWING THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. SHE WAS ARRESTED AT AN AIRPORT NEAR MOSCOW WHEN SHE WAS ALLEGEDLY CAUGHT WITH VAPE CARTRIDGE WITH HASH OIL. SHE SAID SHE IS INNOCENT. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT HAS EXTENDED HER DETENTION REPEATEDLY AND NOW SAYS SHE WILL BE IN PRISON THROUGH AT
AT LEAST JULY 2. LAST MONTH SHE WAS SPOTTED IN A RUSSIAN STATE AND IN HANDCUFFS LEFT THE COURTHOUSE.FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND FELLOW PLAYERS HAVE SHOWN THEIR SUPPORT INCLUDING NBA STARS. WE ALL SUPPORT HER. WE WANT TO TRY TO GET HER HOME SOON AS POSSIBLE WNBA ADDED HER NAME AND NUMBER ON THEIR COURTS. IT IS A DIRE SITUATION, ABSOLUTELY. BUT SHE IS TOUGH-MINDED. SHE IS TOUGH-HEARTED. BASKETBALL GIVES YOU A CERTAIN TYPE OF STRENGTH TO ENDURE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING. THE STATE CLASSIFIED HERAS WRONGFULLY DETAINED MEANING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WOULD SEEK TO NEGOTIATE HER RETURN. BRITTANY GREINER SHOULD NOT BE DETAINED. SHE SHOULD NOT BE DETAINED FOR A SINGLE DAY LONGER. BILL RICHARDSON WHO HAS A SALARY NUMEROUS PEOPLE WAS ASKED FOR HELP BY HER WIFE. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. THEY KNOW ME. I KNOW THEM. HER TEAMMATE SAY THEY REMAIN HOPEFUL DESPITE THE NEW DELAY IN GETTING HER HOME. WE WILL DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO AMPLIFY HER AND MAKE HER AT THE FOREFRONT OF THINGS THAT WEDO. TREVOR READ THE AMERICAN ANDTHAT HAS HELPED JUST FILED A
