Brittney Griner’s family say she’s ‘OK’ but not ‘good’ as Russia extends her detention by months
The Independent says Brittney Griner’s family say the basketball star is “OK” but not “good” as Russia extended her detention by at least several more months.
A source close to Griner told ESPN that “we know she’s OK” because of updates they have received from her Russian legal team, but added, “I wouldn’t say she’s ‘good,’ but she’s OK.”
The two-time Olympic gold medallist will remain under arrest in Moscow until at least 19 May after a court granted an extension for investigators, according to Russia’s state news agency.
The US State Department also say that consular officials in Moscow have still not been granted access to meet with Griner in prison.
