The Bring Our Families Home Campaign, an organization dedicated to raising awareness for Americans who are being held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad, unveiled a commemorative mural Wednesday.
The mural honoring 18 of the more than 60 Americans detained overseas was shared in an alley in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington. As Jonathan Franks, the group's spokesman, addressed the media on a blazing sunny day with reporters and family members squeezed into the small space, the relatives of Matthew Heath quickly walked to the end of the alley away from the cameras and the media.
Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens, who was at the mural dedication, and Ambassador Jimmy Story traveled to Caracas, Venezuela, shortly after his suicide attempt to have"discussions about the welfare and safety of wrongfully detained U.S. nationals in Venezuela and to press for their release," a State Department spokesperson told the Washington Examiner at the time.
"I don't feel like they're doing enough. I feel like they could do more work," she said, referencing the Biden administration.
