Trevor Reed was formerly detained in Russia after being charged for putting the lives of local officers in danger. He was arrested earlier in 2020 before being released in April due to a prisoner swap. Reed would say that Brittney Griner will face much more tribulations behind bars due to her sexual orientation. “There is no justice in Russia. Brittney and Paul (Whelan, a fellow detainee) will not receive justice in Russia. They’re not going to received fair trial, they will not receive a fair investigation. They will be hostages until the United States gets them out,” he said slamming the Russian authorities.

Based on his experiences under the custody of the Russians, he said that had lost 45 pounds without any proper food source. He claimed he spent his days in fear of catching COVID-19 or Tuberculosis. “There was blood all over the wall there… where prisoners had killed themselves, or killed other prisoners, or attempted to do that. The toilet’s just a hole in the floor.”

The story around Brittney Griner being able to contact her people was very suspicious but recently an agent revealed that the WNBA star has been able to write to them. “While sporadic, written communication from her wife, family, friends and global sports community has been a source of comfort for BG during her wrongful detained,” said Lindsay Kagawa Colas.

“It has been over 105 days since BG has heard her wife or family’s voice. It remains clear that Brittney Griner is being used as a potential pawn and it is imperative that President Biden do whatever is necessary to return Brittney home quickly and safely.”
