Calls Intensify for Austin Tice's Release After 12 Years in Captivity

Journalists and officials urge Biden administration to prioritize efforts for Tice's return from Syria.

Austin Tice, a journalist and former Marine, was abducted in Syria in 2012 while covering the civil war.
The U.S. government believes Tice is held by the Syrian government, despite its denials.
Media executives and Tice's family express frustration with the lack of progress in securing his release.
President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirm commitment to bringing Tice home.
Recent successes in freeing detained Americans abroad heighten expectations for Tice's case.
