Brittney Griner pleads for help in letter to Biden: 'As I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments, I’m terrified I might be here forever.'
Griner has been detained in Russia since February after authorities claimed that they found vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her luggage., went on trial last Friday on drug charges that carry up to 10 years in prison.
“I still have so much good to do with my freedom that you can help restore. I miss my wife! I miss my family! I miss my teammates!" "President Biden has been clear about the need to see all U.S. nationals who are held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad released, including Brittney Griner. The U.S. government continues to work aggressively — using every available means — to bring her home," Watson added.
