The American basketball star Brittney Griner's pre-trial detention in Russia has been extended for one month.
Ms Griner, 31, has been in custody since February after Moscow airport officials allegedly found cannabis oil in her luggage, while she was returning to the US after playing in Russia.
US officials said she was wrongfully imprisoned and should be released.
Ms Griner - regarded as one of the world's best female players - faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

This should be an eyeopener to this American hating, knee bending basketball player who had the right to boycott the National Anthem and gleefully did.
America ain’t so bad after all, is it Scooter?

Wrongfully imprisoned?
She brought cannibus in a vape pen, allegedly, which is agains the law in that country.
There are no special privileges in Russia for rich lawbreakers, only in America.

And as I recall, Obama traded four Taliban generals for a sergeant who had deserted.

Putin is a racist and a sexist.

She’s lucky it’s Russia. She would not survive North Korea.

No problem, let the homosexual druggie rot in jail—better that it it is a Russian jail on their time than one on the US. I don’t think anyone is missing her, do you?
