To my dear friends Siamak, Emad, Morad and the other released detainees:

Free at last

Free at last !

Deeply saddened by the death of Bill Richardson. He introduced me years ago to his life long passion of fighting for the release of hostages & the wrongfully detained.

My thoughts are with his loved ones and colleagues

It’s only a 1st step & every day they continue to be robbed of their freedom is a day too many

But for Siamak, Morad, Emad, two others released from prison, &their loved ones, this is welcome news too long in coming

I know my colleagues won’t rest until they all return home.

Double #hoyas2023 - congratulations to Frances and Miles on their respective graduations from Georgetown & Georgetown Law Center! Love you

To our friends Jimmy and Rosalynn and to their family – Jill and I are with you in prayer and send you our love.

We admire you for the strength and humility you have shown in difficult times. May you continue your journey with grace and dignity, and God grant you peace.

My first in-person meeting with my dear friend Michael Kovrig since he was released from his wrongful detention in China. So good to see him healthy, strong - and free!

Celebrating my mother’s first 90 years …

We are thinking of Baquer and Siamak Namazi, Emad Shargi, and Morad Tahbaz (also a UK citizen), who should be able to celebrate #Nowruz in freedom and surrounded by their loved ones.

Congratulations to the entire Crisis Group family. You are lucky to have Comfort Ero & Richard Atwood - and they are even luckier to have you !

Wonderful to see my dear friends Mike Abramowitz and his father Mort - an inexhaustible font of knowledge, wisdom and humor

« Of all the words Crisis Group has written it’s hard to imagine any meaning more to us than these: Michael Kovrig is free. »

My friend & former colleague #MichaelKovrig walks 7,000 steps in his cell every day, for what have now been 1,000 days

Like so many others around the world I walked the same distance in solidarity

Thinking of him, ⁦Vina Nadjibulla⁩ & his loved ones

This Sunday will mark Michael Kovrig’s 1,000th day in detention in China, alongside Michael Spavor.

Their families and friends invite you to join them in walking the 7,000 steps (5 km) that Michael walks in his cell every day.

Thank you Crisis Group for your continued solidarity! #freemichaelkovrig

Today is 994 days since our colleague Michael Kovrig was arbitrarily jailed by China.

His sole offence was to be a Canadian in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Every day his grit and character in the face of injustice inspire us.
