Calling for the immediate release of George Glezmann, a United States citizen who was wrongfully detained by the Taliban on December 5, 2022, and condemning the wrongful detention of all Americans by the Taliban.
HRES 1347 is a non-binding resolution calling for the immediate release of George Glezmann, a U.S. citizen wrongfully detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan since December 2022. It condemns the Taliban’s practice of detaining Americans without charges or due process, specifically citing Glezmann’s deteriorating health (including tumors, hypertension, and malnutrition) and harsh conditions (solitary confinement, limited medical care, and only seven phone calls with family). The resolution urges the Taliban to release Glezmann and all U.S. citizens wrongfully detained, asks the U.S. government to press for his release, and thanks Qatar for its role as the protecting power in Afghanistan. It directly affects Glezmann and all Americans detained by the Taliban, emphasizing their human rights and urging diplomatic action.
