brittney griner After being detained in Russia for 294 days, he finally returned to American soil. Joe Biden Management has finally brought back the WNBA Superstar. But in the past, there have been allegations that Brittney Griner was “wrongly detained” and fans have declared her a “political prisoner” stuck in the Ukraine-Russia war so that the superpower nation is on the advantageous side.

Drug Smuggling charges in Russia can make a person book for about 10 years. That’s exactly what happened to Brittney Griner. As during his trial on 7pearl In July 2022, he pleaded guilty to drug charges while talking about how it was done unintentionally, and he also had a medical prescription for it. But the court cared the least and sentenced him to nine years in prison.
