RELEASE: REPS. HILL, MCCAUL, MCCORMICK, MCCLINTOCK ON THE RELEASE OF TIGRAN GAMBARYAN

LITTLE ROCK, AR - Rep. French Hill (R-AR), House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), and Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) today released the following statement on the release of U.S. citizen Tigran Gambaryan, who was unjustly detained by the Government of Nigeria since February 2024.

 

“While long overdue, we are extremely pleased that Tigran Gambaryan has finally been released from his unjust detention by the Government of Nigeria. During his detainment, Tigran was unfairly subjected to routine violations of his rights of due process, including restricted access to his counsel and U.S. consular support, and inadequate healthcare. This treatment of an upstanding American citizen is wholly unacceptable. Our hearts go out to Tigran and his family, and we hope for an expeditious recovery from this shameful ordeal.”
