Hot comments today: Russian government notified US embassy last week about Griner's transfer to penal colony, weeks after she was moved

Stop saying "wrongfully detained". She broke the law and admitted to it. It's not like she was a kid who's never been there before. She's a grown woman who has been there several times. She knew the law but felt she shouldn't get punished just because of who she is. Honestly, I never heard of her until this so I guess she's getting famous now. Hope it's worth it.

American Depomants need to hear the voice od True Patriotic Americans, She brake Russia laws by volunteerly smuggling drugs into their country. A well know Gun dealer is NOT a fair trade for a has been, washed up half wit of a basket ball player. She disrespect America and broke Russia law. They can keep her and let her pay the price of her crime.

Such a biased article. once again, UNTRUTHFUL article. She is NOT wrongfully detained. She broke Russian laws. Regardless of how you feel about them, the TRUTH is she broke them. Therefore they have the right to arrest her! You are spreading propaganda not truth.

She committed a crime in their country. Most everyone should know that you cannot bring anything considered drugs into another country without a prescription with your name on it. Period. So she is at their mercy. They don't have to tell the embassy anything, illegal or not, fair or not. We are talking about a country invading another for no reason. Idk why this is still news.

Just where in the hell does the author of this article get wrongfully detained??!!?? She took illegal drugs into a foreign country and got caught.

CNN, make yourself look good for just this once. Your reporter should resign or you should terminate for cause. Griner is guilty of a serious crime in Russia, she is not unlawfully detained. Start reporting on the rampant crime in this country due to the Democrats pushing for low to no bail, reduced sentencing and perpetual probation and parole. They received all they asked for! Now when they witness crime they stand frozen like deer in the headlights and wonder what happened! Russia has its share of issues, but at least it holds Criminals responsible! We don’t hold anybody responsible, including crap reportes!
