A group of lawmakers from Pennsylvania have introduced a resolution calling for the release of a Butler native from a Russian prison.
Marc Fogel has been held in a hard labor camp since August 2021, after he was found carrying a half-ounce of medicinal marijuana for a back injury.
Recently, Senators Bob Casey and John Fetterman, along with Congressmen Mike Kelly and Chris Deluzio called for the Biden Administration to prioritize securing Fogel’s release.
This is the latest effort by lawmakers to push both the President and the State Department to designate Fogel as “wrongfully detained.” Lawmakers say that would give his case “appropriate attention.”
