Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who has been detained in Russia since mid-February, was visited by a U.S. Embassy official and “is doing as well as can be expected,” U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said during a news conference.
Last week, her arrest was extended until May 19 in a court hearing, according to Russian news agency TASS. A person close to the situationlast week that the court hearing involved an appeal from Griner’s Russian legal team challenging her detention and seeking to have her transferred to house arrest while the investigation is ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, a trial date will be set; if that hasn’t happened by May 19, there will be a hearing to consider another extension.
The TASS report cited Ekaterina Kalugina, described as a human rights activist from Russia’s Public Monitoring Commission, who said officials from the U.S. Embassy had not visited Griner despite the willingness of Russian officials to “create all conditions” for such a visit.
