Ekaterina Kalugina, a member of the Moscow-based Public Monitoring Commission group that observes the treatment of prisoners, claimed that US Consulate officials had not visited Griner in the pre-trial detention center. She also said that Griner is sharing a cell with two other woman with no previous convictions.
The exact date of her arrest and the full circumstances surrounding it haven’t been made clear, although Griner has not posted to Instagram since Feb. 5.
Griner, who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, does not believe the National Anthem should be played before WNBA games and will not be on the floor if it is, Arizona Central reported in 2020.
Griner made her comments two days after the Mercury’s opening game that year when players were absent from the floor during the pre-game tradition.
“I honestly feel we should not play the National Anthem during our season,” said Griner. “I think we should take that much of a stand.
“I’m going to protest regardless. I’m not going to be out there for the national anthem,” she said, according to outsports.com. “If the league continues to want to play it, that’s fine. It will be all season long, I’ll not be out there. I feel like more are going to probably do the same thing. I can only speak for myself.”
Notice how the weak and ineffective Biden Administration has let her rot in jail without lifting a finger.
