Key Points:
- Congressmen Rich McCormick and French Hill push for release Binance executive, highlighting international diplomatic pressures.
- The resolution mandates continuous consular visits and unrestricted medical care for the detained Binance official.
U.S. Congressmen Rich McCormick and French Hill introduced a joint resolution in the House of Representatives, urging the Nigerian government to release Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan.
The resolution expresses worries concerning his detention and calls on the U.S. government to use all available means of diplomatic channels to secure his release.
The detention of Gambaryan has received global attention; hence, the resolution calls for his rights to be followed in detention in Nigeria. It particularly calls on the government of Nigeria to allow the release of Binance executive Gambaryan unlimited and unimpeded visits by the consulate in line with international standards. Added to this resolution, ensuring Gambaryan gets proper medical attention as fast as possible is also important.
For Congressman McCormick, Gambaryan’s release lay at the heart of ensuring respect for human rights and due process. He demanded openness and no Tinapan treatments for detained persons, especially if they involved foreign nationals.

The resolution further instructed the U.S. federal government to include Gambaryan’s case openly in all bilateral engagements with Nigeria, underlining its relevance for diplomatic priority. This is to be marshalled out as pressure is put on Nigerian authorities over Gambaryan’s speedy release and a guarantee that his rights are fully respected throughout the process.
