HRES 1348 United States House · 118th Congress

Urging the Government of Nigeria to immediately release Tigran Gambaryan from imprisonment.

HRES 1348 is a non-binding resolution urging Nigeria to immediately release Tigran Gambaryan, a U.S. citizen and former IRS agent detained since February 2024. The resolution cites his unlawful detention after legal deadlines expired, deteriorating health (including malaria), and poor conditions at Kuje Prison, where he was transferred despite a court order for hospital care. It calls for Nigeria to grant him medical access, consular support, and due process, while urging the U.S. government to use all resources to secure his release. The resolution highlights concerns that his detention appears linked to pressure on his employer, Binance, rather than legitimate legal grounds.
