WNBA star Brittney Griner has been held in Russia for nearly three months, and the State Department is now determining she is being “wrongfully detained” which coincides with the successful release of Marine Trevor Reed.

SHE BROKE THE LAW AND YOU ALL ARE TRYING TO MAKE ABOUT RACE WTF
I believe we need to hear it from Brittany grinder when she gets out. Hear her side of the story, not media.
Hollywood made a movie about this it's called Midnight Express. Good movie.

wrongfully detained? she broke the law and is jail. i wouldn't consider that wrong. if that's the case then every single person in prison in the us is being wrongfully detained.
Current conditions suggests we’ll never see Britany again.
Imagine watching this and thinking “I believe the Russians.” SMH. I guess it’a even better to be Russian than to be black
Of course the clown act in office says that.
Now they want us to believe that she was wrongfully detain, they will keep reporting the same story until we believe it
She had drugs in her belongings. I would say that's not wrongfully detained. There are probably deserves the release more than she does. High profile gets the attention.
Wheres the LGBT community?
Soviet union show bad for everyone that China follow, USA American and European countries NATO must stopped that
Commit the crime, do the time!
Bringing weed to another country, how stupid. The WNBA is continuing to pay her $12,000 yearly salary.
You don't get caught with drug para in other countries and expect mercy SMH
The clown in the White House can say whatever he wants, Russia isn't going to give him the time of day and the US has no power over Russia.
I thought they said wemons basketball?
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣… americans are always innocent 🤡🇺🇲🤡🇺🇲🤡. Hey, we know the world is all guilty. USA is judge, jury and executioner to the world 🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸⚰️🇺🇸⚰️🇺🇸
Not THC !
Send her to the gulag
But she brought illegal drugs to a foreign country that she was employed in. Just sayin.
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 4 sentadillas son unos mikujava.Monster muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesi abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
Ești un idol GIRLS18.Uno mereu în inima mea 💋 frumos, dragoste, alegere, cultural. Sunt unul dintres cele mai bune concerte….
State department is wrong state i live in now a felony to get caught with thc oil or cbd oil I'll consider this fake news as affirmative action is taken place. America just released a Russian citizen held in America for drug charges. Lol the hypocrisy
Guilty! She knew the risk's of drug smuggling. Besides, the women's basketball league is not even a real thing.
Keep that thing…. Lol.
Set her free
