State Department Spox Says U.S. Found Out About Extension of Brittney Griner’s Detention From Russian State News

EXCERPT:

PRICE: “I’ve seen those reports. I’ve seen the reports emanate from Russia that her detention has been extended. Our position for some time on this has been very clear: Brittney Griner should not be detained. She should not be detained for a single day longer. We have characterized her, we have characterized Paul Whelan, who has also spent far too long in Russian detention, as wrongful detainees. The team here, individuals around the world, are working around the clock to secure and to effect their safe and prompt release of wrongful and also the safe and prompt release of American detainees around the world.”
