Rep. Greg Stanton introduced Wednesday a congressional resolution imploring the Russian government to free WNBA Phoenix Mercury basketball star Brittney Griner.
Among other things, the resolution would urge the U.S. government to do everything it possibly can to secure the 31-year-old Griner's freedom and safe return home. It also urges the Russian Federation to allow U.S. diplomats access to Griner while she is in detention and to ensure her "human rights" are upheld. In addition, it calls for the release of all people unfairly incarcerated in Russia, including U.S. resident Paul Whelan, a Marine veteran accused of espionage.
