  • The family of Austin Tice, a freelance journalist held in Syria since 2012, said they have new confirmation that Tice is still alive and well but expressed deep frustration with the Biden administration for telling them in a meeting on Friday that the administration is waiting to see how the rapidly unfolding events in Syria resolve before being able to do more to try to free Tice.

The family of Austin Tice, a freelance journalist who was kidnapped in Syria in 2012, met with Biden administration officials and expressed their deep frustration over the lack of progress in securing his release. Despite assurances from the administration that Austin is alive and well, his parents, Debra and Marc Tice, are increasingly concerned about the slow pace of diplomatic efforts. They have been pushing for more decisive action, feeling that the U.S. government has not been aggressive enough in negotiations for his freedom.

The administration has reiterated its commitment to bringing Austin home, but specifics on what steps are being taken remain undisclosed.
