Day 3,834 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali & his family. They have carried a huge burden of suffering for over ten years. So much has been stolen from their lives. Their supporters will not forget them or stop calling on you to do all you can to #SaveAhmadreza @MariaStenergard

The son of a British couple (Lindsay & Craig Foreman) detained in Iran has given the government a petition with more than 100,000 signatures asking it to do "everything in its power" to secure their freedom. Alongside the petition, Bennett sent a letter which marked the 656th day his mother and stepfather have been detained. They are being held at Evin Prison in Tehran. His letter, addressed to Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband, said: "I am still just a son who misses his mum. "I am doing everything I can. I am asking you to do everything you can, too." @freelindscraig @FCDOGovUK

Day 3,833 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali and his family. "For exhausted families, the unrelenting emotional stress becomes virtually unbearable." But his supporters will not forget him or stop calling for action to #SaveAhmadreza. @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @KajsaOllongren
Today marks 2 years since 🇺🇸 Tigran Gambaryan was released from wrongful detention in Nigeria. Detained on Feb. 26, 2024, he was finally freed on Oct. 23, 2024 after 8 months in captivity.
We’re grateful Tigran is safely home with his family after a harrowing ordeal.

They took more than his freedom.
They took moments like this one. The kind you can't schedule or recreate. The kind that only happen when a family is together.
Jimmy Lai has been in solitary confinement since 2020. His family is still waiting for him to come home.

Day 3,832 of injustice for Ahmadreza Djalali and his family. "His case stands as a stark reminder of the repressive and dangerous conduct of the Iranian regime and its ongoing assault on the rules-based international order." #SaveAhmadreza @SwedishPM @MariaStenergard @kajakallas

Saudi Arabia - Arab News
Swiss national Claudia Abbt, 69, arrived in Libya’s eastern city of Benghazi together with 76-year-old Eva Gretzmacher, Libyan media outlets reported earlier, following an intervention from the military commander Khalifa Haftar, who controls eastern Libya and parts of the south. Gretzmacher was taken on January 11, 2025, while Abbt was captured in April last year. No group has publicly claimed responsibility for the abductions.
2/3 El Salvador's President Threatens Haitian Gangs over Military Hostages

UK - BBC
El Salvador's president has said he has launched a military operation to rescue four air force personnel who have been missing in Haiti since Sunday. Threatening further action, Nayib Bukele said that Wednesday's attack was "nothing" compared with what would happen if all the hostages - who he said were not combatants - were not returned alive. According to an X post from Bukele, the mission consisted of pilots and technical personnel, whose primary jobs were to "carry out medical evacuations and save lives, not to wage war".
3/3 My Husband Hiep Tran Is in A Vietnamese Prison. He Has Done Nothing Wrong

UK - The Guardian, Oct. 21, 2026
Just some days ago, I received a few fragmented details about his condition. I was told that he is in a fragile mental state, gripped by fear, and experiencing erratic blood pressure – symptoms which he had never experienced before. Knowing that my husband is suffering like this, unable to feel safe or at peace, is unbearable. The only brief message I have received from him reads: “Hi, how are you all going? I want you to know that I never entered Vietnam on my own. I never crossed the border. I am struggling mentally – traumatised and terrified by the situation.”
September 23 came & went. 🇸🇪🇪🇺 Dawit Isaak is still forcibly disappeared in Eritrea.
His 25th anniversary passed. His captivity continues!
@SwedishPM @kajakallas, how many more years will Sweden & the EU allow this to continue without consequences? What will it take to finally confront Eritrea’s refusal to answer even the most basic questions about his fate?
Dawit has lost 25 years. How many more will he lose before the governments meant to protect him finally act? #FreeDawit Now!

Yesterday, the APPG sent sent a joint parliamentary letter to the @FCDOGovUK calling for real action to be taken by @Ed_Miliband to secure the release of Lindsay and Craig Foreman.
The UK must learn from previous mistakes and take bolder and firmer action to bring them home.

Today, Stephen Hubbard is heading home.
Stephen is finally back in America with his loved ones after enduring four years of unjust detention. Our nation celebrates his return and offers him our prayers as he begins this next chapter of his life. Because of President Trump's leadership, more than 100 Americans have been freed from captivity and returned home.
The Trump Administration will always work tirelessly to secure the release of Americans unjustly detained abroad and will continue its campaign to free those who are still wrongfully detained.
