Family of teacher detained in Russia for medical marijuana say his case isn't getting as much attention as Brittney Griner's.
– A United States teacher was caught with marijuana in Russia and sentenced harshly.
Airport personnel went through Fogel’s bags just minutes before he was detained for carrying cannabis into the country. Marc Fogel was convicted of smuggling drugs into Russia and sentenced to 14 years in prison in a high-security penal colony last month. The circumstances of his detention have some similarities to the arrest of Brittney Griner. However, Griner was declared wrongfully detained by the state department less than three months after her arrest.“He is wrongfully detained. There’s no question about it,” Anne Fogel said. “This is an outrageous, outrageous sentence.”
