WNBA star Brittney Griner, whose appeal against a nine-year sentence was rejected by a Moscow court last month, is being moved to a penal colony, her lawyers said Wednesday.
Under Russian regulations, the authorities will only disclose Griner’s location once she arrives at the prison and notification can take up to two weeks to be received, the lawyers, Maria Blagovolina and Alexander Boykov, said in a statement.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the US has continued to follow up with Russia through all available channels on alternative potential ways to secure Griner’s release, despite Moscow’s “lack of good faith negotiation” on an earlier offer from Washington to try to resolve the situation. President Joe Biden directed officials to prevail on Russia to improve conditions Griner may face in the penal colony, she said in a statement.
