“It is time to bring her home” Carmelo Anthony’s message amid Brittney Griner’s 105th day detention in Russia

Brittney Griner has been detained in a Russian jail for 105 days on alleged drug charges. It’s almost unfathomable that she’s been in prison for over four months. This is why Carmelo Anthony, a veteran of the Los Angeles Lakers, is speaking out as he resorted to Twitter to share a short video of himself addressing Griner’s predicament. The Lakers forward is leading a petition to ease the WNBA star’s release.

Brittney Griner, a seven-time WNBA All-Star and two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, was arrested in February at Sheremetyevo International Airport and remains in Russian detention. In Griner’s luggage, the Russian Federal Customs Service claimed to have discovered vape cartridges carrying the marijuana concentrate hashish oil and is being investigated for “large-scale drug transportation,” which may result in a sentence of up to ten years in prison in Russia. The WNBA has been supportive of Brittney Griner’s detention for almost three months as she received hundreds of emails and messages from players throughout the league but it was reported that the Russian officials check Griner’s emails and letters before she reads them, and she must react either in writing or by dictation.

Today is the 105th day that our friend, sister, teammate, Brittney Griner has been wrongfully detained in Russia. Day 105! It is time to bring her home!” , Carmelo Anthony quoted. It was reported a few weeks ago that the US President Joe Biden had gone out of his way to help Griner be released.

The US was even prepared to grant Griner a prisoner swap in return for the release of convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. This difficult arrangement has clearly fallen apart, which is why Lakers veteran Carmelo Anthony has taken it upon himself to support her in any way he can.
