The NAACP released the folowing statement on the release of Brittney Griner:
"The NAACP is elated to hear the news that after 10-months, Brittney Griner is finally on her way home. We applaud President Biden for ensuring Brittney's release. Let's be clear, Brittney's imprisonment was not only inherently political, but a clear violation of human rights. Although nothing can replace the time that she has lost, we hope that her family can find comfort in the fact that Brittney will be free to celebrate the holidays with them. Brittney, welcome home."
