A Russian court has upheld a nine-year prison sentence against US basketball player Brittney Griner, prompting renewed calls from the United States for her release.
A Moscow-area court on Tuesday rejected an appeal by Griner, who was found guilty and sentenced in August on drug charges, in what the White House called “another sham judicial proceeding”.
Griner, a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) star and two-time Olympic gold medallist, was arrested at a Moscow airport in February with vape cartridges containing cannabis oil, which is illegal in Russia.
