JAKARTA - Britney Griner was transferred to a Russian prison colony feared a few days ago. However, there is no specification where he was taken.
Currently, the public doesn't know where Griner is and the people in America are getting nervous. Everyone is afraid Griner's life is really in danger, especially given how bad the conditions are in those prison colonies.
Until now, both the United States Government and Griner representatives are still actively seeking the release of the WNBA basketball player.
But the situation is getting tougher from minute to minute where the two Olympic gold medalists may be going through the worst moments of his life since he arrived in Russia.
All media coverage is almost minimal and attention to issues from local authorities is virtually non-existent.
Griner has already served his sentence and he must fulfill it. A very disturbing scenario that received the attention of the WNBA Players Association. They released a statement, condemning Griner's treatment in the country.
"We support Britney Griner and will continue to ask all Americans and the global sports community to do the same more vigilantly," their official Twitter account posted on Thursday.
"We are devastated because this scary thing never seems to end. The lack of clarity and transparency in the process adds to the pain."
Griner was convicted in August after police found a vape tube filled with marijuana oil in his suitcase at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. His February arrest comes at a time when tensions between Moscow and Washington escalated, just days before Russia sent troops to Ukraine.
