After nearly 10 months, WNBA star Brittney Griner was released from prison in Russia on Thursday, December 8, 2022 and boarded a U.S. government plane that took her back to American soil. The two time U.S. Olympic basketball gold medalist was charged with carrying drugs after a vape with hashish oil was discovered in her suitcase. She faced up to 10 years in prison.
In return for Ms. Griner's freedom from a penal colony, the U.S.released former arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was serving a 25-year sentence in Illinois following a conspiracy conviction.
The U.S. was unable to secure the release of former Marine Paul Whelan, who has been in Russian captivity for nearly four years on espionage charges that the White House says are false. The White House confirmed that efforts to secure his release are continuing, even though he could not be included in the prisoner swap deal at this time.
“I have been in prison for 10 months now, listening to Russian. I want to talk,” Ms. Griner said, on the plane on her way home, according to Roger Carstens, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, who helped secure the basketball star’s release and bring her back to the U.S. He noted that she went around to each member of the crew on the plane to get their names and shake their hands.
Despite her Russian prison ordeal, Ms. Griner, who plays Center on the Phoenix Mercury WNBA team, is reportedly in good spirits. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday, "She's in San Antonio at the Brooke Army Medical Center getting appropriate mental health care as well as physical health care, just to make sure that she's ready for her reintegration back into American society."
