Doesn’t this happen, like, once every couple of years? Weren’t people saying, even when Evan Gershkovich was arrested, exactly what they said when Brittney Griner was arrested? “This is just the setup for a prisoner exchange in a few months?”
Israel does the same thing. Like a few months ago, the prisoner swap they did was prefaced by Israel going out and arresting a bunch of Palestinians. IIRC, one of those released was a Palestinian woman who’d served six years and 10 months of a seven-year sentence.
