A Russian court has decided to extend WNBA star Brittney Griner’s detention in Moscow for two more months, according to a report.
, “Ekaterina Kalugina, a member of the Moscow-based Public Monitoring Commission group that observes the treatment of prisoners, told TASS that Griner was sharing a cell with two other women with no previous convictions. She added that Griner’s only issue was the prison beds were too short for her 6’7″ frame.”
“There’s only so much I can say given the privacy considerations at this point,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinkenabout Griner. “Whenever an American is detained anywhere in the world, we of course stand ready to provide every possible assistance, and that includes in Russia. “We have an embassy team that’s working on the cases of other Americans who are detained in Russia,” he added. “We’re doing everything we can to see to it that their rights are upheld and respected.”
