Last month the U.S. State Department reclassified WNBA player Brittney Griner as 'unlawfully detained' after she was arrested at the airport in Moscow for possession of vape pens and cannabis oil cartridges [click here if you missed that].
Russian President Vladimir Putin's top spokesperson denies the accusation...
From NBC
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Keir Simmons, the spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, disputed the State Department’s position that Griner is a Russian hostage.
Griner, he said, was no different from “hundreds and hundreds of Russian citizens that were sentenced for carrying hashish.”
“Why should we make an exemption for a foreign citizen?” he added.
Griner, 31, was detained in February after she landed in Moscow; authorities said a search of her bag revealed vape cartridges containing hashish oil, a derivative of cannabis. The offense could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison in Russia.

She was arrested on drug charges - that is not a political prisoner.
How do you know she had drugs? Because Putin and Russia are known for their morals, ethics, and honesty? LOL!

@1:00 you one of them non empathetic ppl to let your kid in jail for a petty theft... "Tuff Love bottled up, No chaser....Neat"
Yeahhh, I think she just picked a bad time to fuck around. They just need to do the swap and get it over with and get her back home
Ya gonna stop playing in other people's countries. Especially the super white ones. I too think she they need to her let go but c'mon. This wasn't her first time doing this dumb shit but it was her first time getting caught. I hope they let her out before the year ends. SMH.
No, she needs to stay there. She admonished America for not having rights. She can walk around America with drugs. If not, a slap on the wrist and a fine. Now she must be taught about Russian rights for bringing drugs into their country.
A white man visited Dubai and became ill. When they ran his blood in the lab they found TCH in his system. He had not smoked any marijuana while he was in Dubai. He did smoke it before he left the states as it is legal in his home state. He was arrested and is still in jail.
She not being released no time soon. If the US couldn't and didn't get one of their own service men back, we know she don't have a snowballs chance in hell. Black, woman and LGBT+....nope 3 strikes against her already.
She's fuc-ed.
