Held Prisoner in Afghanistan: A Family’s Fight for Freedom | 1.18.25

Our communication was very sparse for a long time now. It's been about every two weeks, which helps, but it's my husband of almost 21 years, and I don't know where he is. I never know when I'll hear from him. I'm super grateful, I have to say. The Qataris have really helped set up the phone calls and make sure they happen every two weeks and even recently worked on lengthening them.

We lived in Afghanistan as a family. I know that's unusual. But we lived there for almost 12 years. And he had started a business in Kabul. And when we had to evacuate as a family when the Taliban took over, he did not want to leave his staff behind. He didn't want to abandon what was going and making a difference in the Afghan people's lives. And so he kept his business open from a distance.

And he was designated as wrongfully detained by our government.

We're needing to focus on the incoming administration, and we will have information on the website on how to do that and how people can get the word out that this is going on and it's completely unjust. I believe every family out there can empathize with what we're going through, that when one family member is going through a horrible situation, we all feel it constantly.

And until Ryan's home, we cannot rest. And even enjoy the opportunities we have in our freedom here in the States because Ryan's still being held and has only access to sunlight a couple times a day and has no choices and is missing so much in his family's life.

I would say to him, please remember Ryan and please do everything you can to bring Ryan home. And I would ask the incoming administration, including incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz that I've spoken with and others involved in roles to bring Ryan home to prioritize our family. Also, George is held with Ryan. He's in the same cell.
