Attorney General Formella wrote in the letter: "His continued detention without cause not only violates his rights but poses a serious threat to his health and well-being… We have a responsibility to advocate for the rights of American citizens abroad, and we urge the federal government to apply the necessary diplomatic pressure to ensure his release."
