A rally was held Monday evening outside the Toyota Center in downtown Houston in support of WNBA star Brittney Griner.
On February 17, Griner was arrested after arriving at an airport in Moscow. According to Russian police, they found cannabis oil inside vape cartridges within her luggage. The WNBA star and olympiac medalist, has been charged with drug smuggling, punishable up to 10 years in Russian prison.
"Every voice in America needs to be called on, to lift every voice and say, bring Brittney home," said Bishop James Dixon from the Houston NAACP. "Justice is only rendered when the truth comes out," said Jackson Lee. "We know she’s a hostage that needs to be released right now."
