Brittney Griner testifies her rights were not explained during Russia arrest

• US basketball star appears as drug trial continues in Russia
• Olympic champion faces up to 10 years in jail if convicted

US basketball star Brittney Griner testified on Wednesday at her drug trial in Russia that an interpreter provided during her questioning translated only a fraction of what was said and officials instructed her to sign documents without providing an explanation.

Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport in February. She acknowledged in court earlier this month that she had vape canisters containing cannabis oil when she arrived in Russia but contends she had no criminal intent and the canisters ended up in her luggage inadvertently.
