Controversial WNBA star Brittney Griner has the whole world talking. Even after her release, people around the world debated whether she should have been released in the first place. A recently published report calls out the distressing thought which subjects people to not question the laws, but rather bash the prisoner.

This comes after major voices around the world have expressed their concern for former marine Paul Whelan who is still in a Russian prison. Instead of questioning the Governments of both countries, people were made to argue about which prisoner between the two deserved to suffer more.
