The Mercury superstar currently faces up to 10 years in prison under the charge of “large-scale transportation of drugs.” The 31-year-old was arrested at Sheremetyevo International Airport on February 17 with vaporizer cartridges in her luggage.
A ton of people, including podcast host Joe Rogan, believe the Russian government is making an example of Griner.
“It’s over nothing. She’s the clearest form of a political prisoner,” Rogan said. “It’s a publicity thing they’re showing their big d—. It’s like f— you, we’ll just keep your girl and lock her up in a cage, f— you.”
