Woman jailed in Russia over cannabis offers support to detained Brittney Griner
An American Israeli woman, who spent 10 months in a Russian prison for travelling with a small amount of cannabis, has spoken publically after her case drew comparisons with that of WNBA star Brittney Griner.
Naama Issachar was arrested in 2019 and sentenced to seven and a half years in prison after 0.3 ounces of marijuana was found in her luggage.
She was pardoned by Vladimir Putin in 2020.
Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has been detained in Russia since February after vape canisters containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage in Moscow.
