A mural featuring WNBA superstar Brittney Griner was unveiled in Washington, D.C., in an effort to draw attention to those who are being “wrongfully detained” abroad.
The Bring Our Families Home Campaign sponsored the Georgetown-area mural that features, along with Griner, 17 others who are detained abroad.
A new mural in Washington D.C. featuring @TheWNBPA member, Brittney Griner, is being unveiled by the @BOFHcampaign. “[Griner’s] placement on the wall was both strategic – because of her recognizability,” Campbell said, “but most importantly, it was the expression on her face and the inviting nature that she says, 'Come in and see these people that are now forever connected to me.'"Griner was arrested on Feb. 17 in Russia for alleged cannabis possession. Last week, her lawyers told the Russian court that she had a prescription for medical marijuana for a chronic injury prior to her arrest.
