US should show why American teacher held in Russia is not considered 'wrongfully detained,' congressman says
Fox News
U.S. Rep. Reschenthaler wants to know why Marc Fogel, who has been in Russia’s custody since August 2021, has not been classified as "wrongfully detained."
"It is indisputable Marc Fogel meets the definition of wrongfully detained under the Levinson criteria," Reschenthaler said in a prepared statement. "Yet as his health rapidly deteriorates ahead of his transfer to a hard-labor penal colony, the Biden administration is still making excuses rather than following the letter of the law. They owe Congress an explanation for their inaction." Stephanie Pagones is a Digital Reporter for FOX Business and Fox News.

U.S. Reps. Glenn "GT" Thompson and Mike Kelly, both of Pennsylvania, co-sponsored the resolution.
