Marc Fogel's family urged the State Department to change his status, and a U.S. representative argued Fogel's case is as important as that of Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.
"Marc's family received no explanations as to why," Hyland continued. "There has been no movement from the administration. The family is deeply disappointed and frustrated by the Administration’s failure to designate Marc as wrongfully detained. We simply don’t understand it."
