American psychotherapist, Majd Kamalmaz has been held hostage in Syria since February 2017.

A couple months ago, I had the honour of interviewing his daughter, @MKamalmaz from Texas. She tells us what happened.

Great news that all members of the US-based missionary group have been released from their captivity in #Haiti. We hope the other 50+ Americans currently held hostage and wrongfully detained around the world will soon be home with their families too. #BringAmericansHome

Paul Kagame is in Belgium this week to meet with @eucopresident Charles Michel. The Rwandan gov kidnapped & tortured my father Paul Rusesabagina, who remains illegally detained in Rwanda today. Please Kagame to let my father go before they take away his last breath.

[James W. Foley Legacy Foundation @JamesFoleyFund]

In 2021 we helped more journalists than ever before:
- created new resources on risks of photojournalism & surviving kidnapping & wrongful detention
- delivered our curricula to at least 40 universities
- published an Arabic version of our undergrad curriculum with @SK_Eyes

[Carine Kanimba @ckanimba]

Thank you to the U.S. Congress for meeting with us today on Paul #Rusesabagina. Dad’s love for America is deeply rooted in the principles of freedom, democracy and human rights. He would be so happy to know about the efforts you are undertaking to bring bring him home. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[POD HOSTAGE DIPLOMACY @PodHostageDiplo]

There are at least 16 innocent foreign nationals currently held hostage in #Iran. They are from the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden & Austria. There could be more.

These countries must work together to hold Iran accountable for their hostage diplomacy (1/2)

Journalist Austin Tice was detained in Syria on August 14, 2012. It's Monday, the beginning of another week. It's time for Austin to come home. #FreeAustinTice https://t.co/eLwNt4rHsB

[Daren Nair @DarenNair]

After campaigning with families of hostages for 6 years to free their loved ones and seeing many of them struggle to get publicity, I created this podcast so they could share their stories

It’s only 3 months old, I do everything on top of a day job but it is very important work

[Veronica Vadell Weggeman @Vvadell]

These are my parents. Together for 45 years, married for 35. They will be spending their 5th Christmas apart because my father is being held hostage in #Venezuela.
Please bring him home @POTUS @jakejsullivan @StateSPEHA @CITGO #FreeTomeu #BringHimHome

[Maryam KamAlmaz @MKamalmaz]

Unjust detainment is cruel and heartbreaking. Praying for @Vvadell father and the rest of @FreeCitgo6 to spend the holidays with their families. 🙏

[Amer Foundation @amer_foundation]

Please keep @freetrevorreed and his family in your prayers. @POTUS @StateSPEHA #EnoughIsEnough #bringthemhome

[Free Trevor Reed @freetrevorreed]

Trevor Reed has not been able to call home in 159 days! Russian Prison IK-12 excuses:
1. He can't call anyone (LIE)
2. You don't have enough minutes on card (LIE)
3. Prison doesn’t have the capability to make international calls. (Probably LIE)
Did it take 3 months to learn this?

The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation believes our fellow detained Americans deserve a life without manipulation or harm. And they deserve to have their government fight for their freedom. To learn more visit https://t.co/rLNSrVpvBj.
