Our mission: Advocating for American hostages and wrongful detainees held abroad and promoting journalist safety.

"Inspiring moral courage."

[James W. Foley Legacy Foundation @JamesFoleyFund]

American journalist James Foley was taken hostage by ISIS. Our gov’t refused to negotiate his release. ISIS murdered him. 10 yrs ago, his mother started #FoleyFoundation to inspire moral courage, protect journalists, & free American hostages & wrongful detainees. #JimFoley10Years

Vladimir Kara-Murza’s (@VKaraMurza’s) long-awaited book has found a publisher and it has a publication date! Can’t wait to read and even hope and ask for a review copy.

Published by @public_affairs in the U.S. and Canada on 18 May 2027.

I hear there is already German translation!! How about Spanish?

We remain deeply concerned by reports that U.S. citizen and former @RadioFarda_ journalist Reza Valizadeh is being denied critical medical treatment while wrongfully detained by Iranian authorities.

Reza must be released. #FreeRezaV @freerezav

True or False - with Americans Robert Gilman and Stephen Hubbard freed by @SEPeaceMissions @SteveWitkoff and back on U.S. soil under @Potus @realDonaldTrump, there are no more Americans wrongfully detained in Russia. FALSE. There are 5 Americans in our @BOFHcampaign - Andre Khachatoorian, David Barnes, Olga Jezler, Chuck Zimmerman, Aleksandr Antonov - who are STILL wrongfully detained by/in Russia. @StateSPEHA

A message from Reza Valizadeh, an Iranian-American journalist wrongfully detained in Iran since 2024. So desperate for much needed healthcare, that he has chosen to dispatch his plea for help from the notorious Evin Prison. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SebGorka @StateSPEHA @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions

[amna @RealAmnaNawaz]

New: a new message from detained American-Iranian journalist Reza Valizadeh, from inside Evin Prison - alleging his critical health care is being delayed/denied by Iranian authorities …
