Brittney Griner’s legal team said the WNBA star has been moved to a penal colony in Russia after the appeal of her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession was rejected.
The move came Nov. 4, and her team doesn’t have any information “on her exact current location or her final destination,” the statement from her legal team read.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement Wednesday reiterating that the nation is working to secure Griner’s release and calling the move to a penal colony another “injustice” committed against Griner by the Russian state.
