Brittney Griner reveals a horrible moment in the Russian prison: “stripped me in front of 7 to 8 men” originally on Fadeaway World.
WNBA star Brittney Griner has always been opened on his traumatic experience in Russia, but his last revelation on the Cam Newton podcast painted the most disturbing image to date. As she is in her 13th League season, Griner sat down to relive the heartbreaking moments of his imprisonment in 2022 and his possible exchange of prisoners, including a deeply dehumanizing episode during her transfer.
“Trade put a small minute to perform a little minute, for my part. I had to be transferred from the criminal colony to a prison for men in Moscow, and I went in advance. I knew that I exchanged myself, but the way they treated me, their little game to terrorize or disturb me with me.”
“Because they checked me, they made me undress, the naked buttocks, in front of a room like probably 7 to 8 men, and they had the Polaroid and made me run in a circle, when they took the photos properly, of my tatos because my tots are all they are. It was the last little drug addict to disturb me.”
Griner had already endured the brutal conditions of Russia’s IK-2 criminal colony, sadly famous for its work, its severe climate and its limited access to basic hygiene. But just before his release in an exchange of high -level prisoners, the Russian authorities submitted it to a last act of humiliation.
In what she described as a deliberate psychological piece, Griner was transferred to a men’s prison in Moscow, a place she believes has never been supposed to hold her, but rather to shake her mind one last time.
It was an experience that she compared to being transformed into an object, a helpless silhouette taken in a display intended to break it. It was not the protocol. It was a question of controlling, shame and inflicting psychological damage just before it walks free.
Griner was finally withdrawn from prison by a group of masked Russian agents and led to a secret aerodrome, which, according to her, does not appear on the cards. She was transported by plane to Abu Dhabi for the last stage of the exchange, where she would be exchanged for the Russian arms dealer Viktor in an agreement negotiated by the Biden administration.
Even during the flight, cruelty did not stop. The masked men taunt her, made comments on his sexuality and seemed determined to remind her that she had been under their thumb until the very last second. However, Griner maintained his determination, knowing that the house and freedom were finally at hand.
The story of Griner is a reminder that his return to basketball was not only a story of return; It was survival. Her strength by telling these moments does not highlight the conditions she was confronted with, but also reinforces why her voice continues to import, far beyond the courtyard.
