Brittney Griner is. 31yrs old Black / African (American) woman from Texas. While on a visit to do with her professional basketball career she was detained by Putin in Moscow on the 17 Feb this year (2022).
She was apparently said to be carrying some hash oil which is legal in the usa but illegal in Russia. She was 'legally' kidnapped and held in prison by Putin, the person and humanity of Brittney Griner has been used by Putin for his twisted racist culture war ..
Olympic gold medalist and WNBA all-star Brittney Griner's wrongful detention began 132 days ago. That detention has been extended until December. I've been reporting on Griner since March 5 when her arrest was revealed. New story later today with updates from Russia, State Dept.
Brittney Griner is one of the world's greatest women basketball players. She has been playing for a Russian team in the off-season for years and won 5 championships there. A staunch lesbian activist, she is under threat. Her detention is purely political.
