Demonstrators with advocacy group DC Marijuana Justice plan to gather at the Russian Embassy in Washington and light up in protest of Russia’s treatment of weed-smuggler WNBA player Brittney Griner.
“We want Brittany released and free of the sham charges that Putin imposed on her as his failed invasion of Ukraine backfired and he elevated Russia to the status of most dangerous rogue nation on the planet,” DC Marijuana Justice co-founder and event organizer Adam Eidinger said in a statement.
