Concerns increased over Tigran Gambaryan’s well-being on Oct. 18 after his illness prevented him from appearing in court.
A group of 18 state attorneys general has urged President Joe Biden to help secure the release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who has been detained in Nigeria since February 2024.
The attorneys general have asked Biden to designate Gambaryan as a hostage under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
The group expressed concern over Gambaryan’s deteriorating health and the unlawful nature of his detention, according to a joint letter sent on Oct. 18.
