Calls for Release of American Journalist Detained in Russia

WNBA star Brittney Griner, who was detained in Russia for nearly 10 months last year, has called for the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia on espionage charges. Griner and her wife Cherelle urged their supporters to encourage the Biden administration to use every tool possible to bring Gershkovich and all wrongfully detained Americans home. The White House and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have condemned Gershkovich's detention and urged Russia to release him immediately.
