Dostoevsky and a Rolling Stones biography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/arrest-of-wnba-star-brittney-griner-on-drug-charges-in-russia-rocks-sports-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Griner&#8217;s arrest was first learned by the public on March 5th<\/a>, yet she was arrested in Russia on drug charges sometime in February. <\/p><div id=\"first-1338349819\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was detained at Sheremetyevo airport near Moscow, where they allegedly found vaping materials and cannabis oil (hash oil), which is a crime in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They charged Griner with drug possession and \u201clarge-scale transportation of drugs\u201d, which is a serious offense. If convicted, Griner faces 5-10 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this, <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/brittney-griners-arrest-in-russia-is-too-convenient-not-to-be-questioned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as we noted in an earlier story<\/a>, could, and should, be viewed as much more than an arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Griner&#8217;s detainment comes after America and other nations condemned and punished Putin for invading Ukraine. Her arrest now gives him a weapon to wield against the U.S. as Griner becomes a hostage to use as leverage against America.<\/p><div id=\"first-1273821132\" class=\"first-content_3 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream4 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Griner is a Black and gay woman, which not only expands the size of the target on her back but also goes against everything Putin&#8217;s Russia stands for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This, sadly, makes her a pawn in the game of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. was quietly negotiating her release before Russia revealed that she had been arrested the month prior, which adds more weight to the belief that she&#8217;s being used against the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will continue to keep you updated on the situationn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WNBA star Brittney Griner has been imprisoned in Russia multiple weeks, and now Russian authorities have stated they&#8217;re extending her imprisonment.
