Today, the hostage and wrongful detainee flag will be flown on numerous federal buildings including the @WhiteHouse to honor @FreeMajdK.

We call on @potus to use all resources necessary to bring the other wrongful detainees home and honor the life of Majd.

[Bring Our Families Home Campaign @BOFHcampaign]

We wished the flag to be raised to celebrate Majd’s return home; unfortunately, the flag will be raised to honor a fallen hero.

@POTUS, you can make sure the next time this flag is flown, it's to celebrate the return home of an American hostage or wrongful detainee.

[Bring Our Families Home Campaign @BOFHcampaign]

RIP, Majd.

"He will be missed tremendously, yet we hope that his legacy of helping others in need lives on and is carried out by many" - @MKamalmaz

Majd's untimely passing serves as a solemn reminder of the American lives at stake when the government fails to take quick and decisive action.

[Maryam KamAlmaz @MKamalmaz]

They’ve killed him.

They must be held accountable.

The #Syrian gov kidnapped, disappeared & murdered my father in their notorious prisons w/o even charging him with a crime or a trial. Justice must be served. My father was a man of peace, love, an award winning psychotherapist

The @BOFHcampaign always finds ways to capture America’s attention to the plight of our hostages and wrongfully detained. None, we found, is better than art. Make sure to check the new mural coming up this May at Freedom Alley in Georgetown. Pictured here is the mural in Houston.

Why do so many of our loved ones have to go on hunger strikes just to be heard?

More than 11 years of physical and mental suffering for Mark Swidan simply because he is American.

@POTUS, what would you do if your son were in Mark's position?

#BringThemHome

[Mickey Bergman @MickeyBergman]

Really excited for this!!! Freedom Alley in Georgetown should be a ‘must see’ stop for anyone visiting our Nation’s Capital.

@isaacampbellart A sneak preview of the design:

It's a timeline designed to remind the viewer and @POTUS just how long our loved ones have unjustly suffered.

[Bring Our Families Home Campaign @BOFHcampaign]

Zack's family needs @SecBlinken and @StateSPEHA to move on a wrongful designation via the Levinson Act.

A year ago, independent global human rights experts at the @UN ruled Zack's detention arbitrary:

Yet our own @StateDept remains silent.

“We are very concerned and afraid that Mark will end his life”

@POTUS, this is why we say it’s a life and death matter. Mark and his mom Katherine need you to act NOW. Not just say words. #BringThemHome

Majd Kamalmaz: Father, brother, son, husband and grandfather to 14 grandchildren.

Over 7 years away from his loved ones, wrongfully detained with no case, no trial, and no word from him.

Please bring him home @POTUS.

I didn’t know this photo was captured until today. What a day that was. Thank you, Mickey and associates for getting our boys home.

[Mickey Bergman @MickeyBergman]

Emotional day today. For the first time, the Hostage & Wrongful Detainees Flag was flown over the Department of State. 2 years of work. This is only the 2nd flag in US history to be codified into law. With @IamEwald #CannotConfirmNorDeny #BringThemHome #FunnyHowHistoryIsWritten

[Mickey Bergman @MickeyBergman]

Today we honor the first annual National Hostage & Wrongful Detainees Day. We will not stop until each and every one of them are home. #BringThemHome

[Bring Our Families Home Campaign @BOFHcampaign]

Thank you, @SecBlinken.

But we hope you will not just "reaffirm your mission" but actually work closely with @POTUS to #BringThemHome.

We've seen progress, but it's not enough for our loved ones, many of whom have suffered for years. (1/3)

[Mickey Bergman @MickeyBergman]

I'm thrilled to announce my upcoming book "In the Shadows: True Stories of High-Stakes Negotiations to Free Americans Captured Abroad" coming June 4th. Co-written by @henican, I'm looking forward to sharing these previously untold stories. Pre-order through the link in my bio.

Happy to see Kai Li’s son, @HarrisonLi15, invited to the State of the Union on Thursday. @FreeKaiLi is an American citizen wrongfully detained in China since 2016. #freeKaiLi @BOFHcampaign @JamesFoleyFund #bringthemhome

[Free Kai Li @FreeKaiLi]

Aggravating that @POTUS has still never responded to our repeated and constant meeting requests.

Aggravating that we are left with no other choice but to keep traveling to DC in a long shot effort to get his attention.

But we can't and won't stop. Thank you, @BOFHcampaign

[Bring Our Families Home Campaign @BOFHcampaign]

A month ago, we wrote to @POTUS with our strongest letter yet asking for a meeting.

Yet again, no response.

So we return to the @WhiteHouse on March 8 for National Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day.

Join us immediately after the panel by @JamesFoleyFund @McCainInstitute

[Maryam KamAlmaz @MKamalmaz]

Will @POTUS acknowledge us and prioritize our loved ones the same way he has to others? Yet here we are AGAIN at the @WhiteHouse.. another effort of this horrific journey to bring our loved ones home. 😔
