Former WNBA star Brittney Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, celebrated her partner’s upcoming release from a Russian penal colony, but vowed to continue fighting for other Americans locked up abroad — including Paul Whelan — even after Griner is home.
Russia has reportedly agreed to a prisoner swap with the US. Griner — who was imprisoned on smuggling charges after she brought a THC vape cartridge into the country — will be exchanged for the “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout, an international arms dealer who conspired to killed Americans.
