Four months ago, Brittney Griner was arrested at a Russian airport for carrying around vape cartridges containing hashish oil in her luggage.
Photos of Ms. Griner being led through a courthouse outside of Moscow were released the week before her trial on drug charges begins next week. In some photos she appears worried. She wears a grey shirt and is handcuffed to a guard. Some fans describe it as heartbreaking. Few pictures have been released since her arrest on February seventeenth, a week before Russia declared war on Ukraine. If Ms. Griner is convicted, she will face ten years in jail. Her wife Cherelle can only communicate with her by writing letters.
Russian officials approved a phone call between the two on June 18, but they were unable to speak with each other because the phone line between the U.S embassy in Russia was not staffed. The photo posted last Monday was the first one posted since May 13. It shows her leaving a courtroom in Khimki, Russia, and she wore an orange sweatshirt with an Air Jordan logo. The hood was pulled over her bowed heat so you couldn’t see her face. She was chained to a guard behind her, and two more guards surrounded her. This photo prompted questions in the US about Ms. Griner’s well-being.
