"The court granted the request of the investigation and extended the period of detention of the US citizen Griner until May 19," the court said, per TASS.According to Russian authorities, the two-time Olympic gold medalist was arrested on allegations of drug smuggling significant amounts of narcotic substance at a Moscow airport. US Representative Colin Allred, a congressman from Texas, said she was arrested on February 17.
" On Wednesday, former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton became the latest US politician to call for her release, sharing an article on Griner with the caption"Free Brittney" in a post on Twitter. Griner currently plays for the Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg. Griner has played with the team since 2015 during the WNBA offseason. In five games this season she is averaging 13.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Keep her.
Good
Why
Free her!
beautiful
Sueknowsthings I shudder at the thought of what could happen if they caught her stealing towels from the hotel.
March 19, 2003 marks the day the US and Britain invaded Iraq under the pretext of finding WMDs; but no such weapons were ever discovered in the country. More than ONE MILLION Iraqis were killed as the result of the invasion, and subsequent occupation of the Arab country.
She made an incredibly foolish mistake.
Stunard

You don't violate the law in foreign countries and neither in your own.

BG is a political prisoner. Praying she comes home safe and soon. 🙏🏽 FreeBrittneyGriner
It definitely wasn't a good time to break one of their laws. We need to know them while in a foreign country. (Especially during a war time.)
100% planted it on her to use her for political leverage. She’s been playing there for idk how long and never once brought marijuana through an airport. In fact no one does that. Definitely a sabotage job.
When you take drugs or drug items into other countries & you get caught then anything that happens is on you. When you turn your back on our flag & anthem don't expect a lot of patriotic Americans to fight for your release. Suck it up buttercup ur to blame.
Ugh such awful news

rosemaryCNN As U.S. Ambassador To Saudi Arabian it's not the right time to try to make a phone call like that with the war going on in Ukraine in night time business it's called favor for a favor QLN🖋
All she needs is a pearl earring
I guess she would like to sing the national anthem now
Don’t break other country’s laws then hahahahahahhaha
BringHomeBrittneyGriner
Her lawyer has not udated us on her behalf?
The anthem has no place in sport when you are playing in the same country the athem is for the olympics and btw its a fucking song get over it
In other words: 'hostage'
Women athletes want equal rights than she should have same sentence as any normal person in Russia system.
She's a pawn for the 'Iran Deal' and POTUS BIG $$10 Billion PAYDAY for the 'RUSSIAN WAR CRIMINALS'
Russia you must want a whole bunch of us black woman to come there and WSA!
She’s not the sharpest knife in the block
O say can you see….
Wrong time to be taking weed into Russia. How can I say this? ermm… she is fucked
WHY
Black lives don't matter in the USA so how one can see this as a bargaining chip is beyond me. 😉 *being cynical.
Being American in Russia is her only crime now and Russia is gonna hold her as long as possible because she's American
An athlete in trouble with the law? Unheard of! sarcasm She did the crime. She will learn things are different in Russia than the USA? Maybe she will whine less about the USA now? Doubtful
Oh well
Maybe the flag and anthem will mean something to her going forward
This is a crime of war and America needs to act
My question is how did she get to Russia if flights from the US and EU were banned?
When you love hashish oil so much that you're willing to smuggle it into Russia. 🎲🤣 BrittneyGriner
Pretty simple don’t bring drugs into a foreign country!
