President Joe Biden has slammed a Russian court for its 'unacceptable' decision to send Women's National Basketball Association star Brittney Griner to prison for nine years on drug smuggling charges and demanded for her immediate release.

Griner, 31, has been detained since February 17, a week before Russia invaded Ukraine, and charged with drug smuggling for bringing illegal cannabis-infused vape cartridges into Moscow.

President Biden immediately reacted to the decision labelling it as"unacceptable" and called for her release. President Biden also said his administration would work “tirelessly and pursue every possible avenue” to bring the basketball star and American Paul Whelan, who is also jailed in Russia on an espionage conviction, home “as soon as possible”.

Biden look after your own country .

Why are you Biden supporting Criminals..? Same as Mr Z In Ukraine?

Rank USA hipocracy, threeStrikesAndYourOut bill was driven in Congress by Biden and signed by President Clinton. auspol

The hypocrisy is laughable. A president of a country with highest incarceration rate for drugs in the world tells a country they can’t imprison a person for a crime his country would incarcerate.

The muttering fool of a man won’t do anything for her release this current administration is dangerous for the USA

What everyone who is not 'woke' thinks....

Americans, DO NOT GO TO RUSSIA - period !!! It’s a DAMN HELL HOLE!!!

She pleaded guilty

Oh the irony. Joe Biden is responsible for more Americans going to jail for smokin' a joint, thanks to his 'tough' crime bill and he's boasted about it in the past. Will Pedo-Pete Biden release all those incarcerated for the same in the USA first? Give us a break

I’m sure immediate release will follow now 😂

Putin don't care what Biden says

Let her (it) rot

Guess she never saw Midnight Express

Haven't heard him comment on Marc Fogel, an ordinary, American teacher, who's been held in Russia longer and sentenced to 5 more years on similar charges, where is his name in the prisoner swap discussions?

Putin is laughing at Dementia Joe
