The WNBA star has been detained Moscow since February for allegedly carrying vape cartridges that contained hashish oil through Sheremetyevo airport. The State Department has classified her as being “wrongfully detained.”
WNBA star Brittney Griner has had her pretrial detention in Russia extended by another month, according to the Associated Press. Griner’s lawyer, Alexander Boykov, spoke to the AP following a hearing and said that he “did not receive any complaints about the detention conditions” from Griner herself. The 31-year-old had already had her detention extended to May back in March. Griner, a center for the Phoenix Mercury, has been held in Russia since February, when Russian officials claim she was caught carrying vape cartridges through Sheremetyevo airport, near Moscow, that contained hashish oil.
