TechFlow news, according to Cointelegraph, a group of 18 state attorneys general has urged President Biden to help secure the release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who has been detained in Nigeria since February 2024.
The attorneys general have requested that Biden designate Gambaryan as a hostage under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act. In a joint letter sent on October 18, the group expressed concern over Gambaryan's deteriorating health and the unlawful nature of his detention.
Attorney General Fomera wrote in the letter: "His prolonged detention without cause not only violates his rights but also poses a serious threat to his health and well-being... We have a responsibility to advocate for American citizens abroad, and we urge the federal government to exert the necessary diplomatic pressure to ensure his release."
