On December 8, 2022, Brittney Griner was released from a Russian prison in exchange for Viktor Bout, the “Merchant of Death,” one of the world’s most dangerous and infamous arms dealers. She had been unjustly held by Vladimir Putin for 10 months, and we were glad to see her back in the United States – albeit in a rather lopsided swap deal.
While in captivity, Griner wrote to President Biden, urging him to “please don’t forget about me and the other American detainees. Please do all you can to bring us home.”
He didn’t forget about her. Griner was promptly designated as “wrongfully detained” less than three months following her arrest and brought back to America by the end of the year.
Alongside the president at the White House, Biden proclaimed his administration is “going to continue to work to bring home every American who continues to endure such an injustice.”
To be frank: That hasn’t happened.
