Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Wednesday called Russia’s transfer of jailed American basketball star Brittney Griner to a penal colony “another injustice.”
“Following a sham trial and the unjust sentencing of Brittney Griner, Moscow is transferring her from a prison in Moscow to a remote penal colony. It is another injustice layered on her ongoing unjust and wrongful detention,” Blinken said in a statement.
Russia detained the two-time Olympic gold medalist earlier this year after authorities said they found vape canisters of cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport.
