Phoenix Mercury News Release


PHOENIX - The Phoenix Mercury today released the following statement:

"While we knew it was never the legal process that was going to bring our friend home, today's verdict is a sobering milestone in the 168-day nightmare being endured by our sister, BG.

We remain heartbroken for her, as we have every day for nearly six months.

We remain grateful to and confident in the public servants working every day to return her to her family and us.

We remain faithful the Administration will do what it takes to end her wrongful detention.

We are inspired every day by BG's strength and we are steadfastly committed to keeping her top-of-mind publicly until she is safely back on American soil.

We will not allow her to be forgotten. We are BG."
