    Absolutely it's horrific. Any punishment for cannabis possession is too much and the penal colony should be internationally criminal. putin is truly hateful and I feel bad for everyone whose lives he's ruining.

    She was in the wrong place in the wrong time. The cannabis was merely an excuse, she was a victim of politics.

    She's home now. She was in possession of a small amount of hash oil and got sentenced to 10 years in a tough women's prison in Russia. They released her in exchange for us releasing a Russian prisoner.

    We will get to find out what her imprisonment was like. It was very strange to read that a party or celebration for her and her wife didn't get much of a turnout.

    I think the Russians also closed in on her because she is a lesbian. She was in Russia because of her basketball career.

    I'm feeling badly for Paul Whelan who is still imprisoned in Russia.
