The Foley Foundation is deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved “Father Fred.” Rev. Fred Zagone, S.J., @MarquetteU chaplain and a cherished friend to the Foley family, passed away this week, leaving behind a legacy defined by kindness, service, and unwavering care for all who knew him. For many years, Father Fred gave a yearly invocation at the James W. Foley Freedom Awards and in 2024, we were honored to present him with the Foley Hero Award in recognition of his “strong contribution to the legacy of James W. Foley.” As President and Founder @FoleyDi shared, “Father Fred Zagone was truly a man for others. The Foley Foundation is forever grateful for his compassion and generosity.” Thank you, Father Fred, for your steadfast commitment to others. We will carry your spirit with us, always. today.marquette.edu/2026/03/marque…

For nearly a year, Dennis Coyle has been wrongfully detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan. His family has worked quietly for his release. Last night, his sister Molly spoke out publicly for the first time—thanking the administration for freeing hostages around the world and calling on them to free Dennis next.

President @realDonaldTrump’s hostage team will not rest until every American citizen comes home. Including Dennis Coyle and Mahmood Habibi. #AMERICAFirst

Thank you @SecRubio for your our meeting and your decisive action to hold the Taliban accountable for holding our brother Dennis Coyle. We are thankful for President Trump's leadership & strong National Security Team! @realDonaldTrump @SebGorka @aboehler @StateSPEHA @whitehouse

Sen. Maggie Hassan
Sen. Maggie Hassan@SenatorHassan·
It is with sadness and much love and appreciation that U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan and her siblings, Franny and Frank Wood, report the death of their mother, Peggy Wood. Peggy lived a full and vibrant life, raising three children, teaching history, and later instructing teachers as they entered the profession. An avid sailor, tennis player, and gardener, she was also a committed community leader having served as the President of her local League of Women Voters, and on numerous nonprofit boards. She also dedicated much of her intellect, energy, and love to her husband, Bob Wood, whose career as a public intellectual and public servant wouldn’t have been possible without her. She was 94 years old.

Consequences for regimes that take Americans hostage are essential for effective deterrence, accountability for captors, and justice for victims. This first use of the State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention designation is a critical step. Right now, ensuring the safe release of Americans held hostage in Iran must be the top priority. #BringThemHome #SSWD @BOFHcampaign @StateSPEHA @SecRubio state.gov/releases/offic…

Foley Foundation board member Ryan Fayhee spoke with CNN about American journalist Reza Valizadeh, who is unjustly imprisoned in Iran. At least five other Americans are also wrongfully detained. Their safety at this moment is paramount. #BringThemHome #Iran cnn.com/2026/02/27/pol…

With the U.S. and Iran now in open conflict, six American nationals wrongfully detained in Iran face unprecedented danger. Their safety cannot be forgotten. We respectfully urge @POTUS, @SecRubio, @aboehler, and @SebGorka to build on the Trump administration’s success in freeing Americans detained abroad by making the safe return of those held captive in Iran a top priority. Their lives depend on sustained attention and swift action. #BringThemHome #Iran @BOFHcampaign

Yesterday, the Foley Foundation remembered Cydney Mizell. Cydney was an aid worker in Afghanistan teaching English when she was abducted and killed in 2008. Her remains were recovered in 2023 and returned to her family. Cydney devoted her life to helping others, and that life was tragically cut short. The Foley Foundation honors her memory.

Congratulations, @trevorrowdyreed!
@NedaSharghi@NedaSharghi

Trevor Reed’s new book, Retribution, is now out. Last night, Trevor spoke at @Georgetown with former U.S. Ambassador to #Russia John J Sullivan about his experience as a wrongful detainee in Russia & what led him to fight for #Ukraine on the front line shortly after his release. An interesting story of a loyal patriotic Marine, of family, & of reclaiming one’s own agency despite the risks. Co-authored by the incredible @JimDeFelice. @freetrevorreed @trevorrowdyreed

500 painful mornings and nights in fear and despair—yet hope endures. We will keep fighting for Reza #freerezav
Free Reza V@freerezav

Today marks Reza’s 500th day in detention. 500 days of cruel and inhumane treatment, of fear and uncertainty, and of wrongful and unjust detention simply for being a journalist. Today, lawyers for Reza filed an urgent update to the @UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. We will continue to do everything we can to secure Reza’s release #freerezav #500days #iran @UN_SPExperts

Today we are celebrating one-year of freedom for Ryan Corbett and his family (@freeryancorbett)!  Ryan was wrongfully detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan for 895 days. The Taliban still holds at least four Americans and needs to account for them.

At the #FoleyFoundation, we believe no family should face the trauma of a hostage-taking or wrongful detention alone. Every day, we stand with families of Americans unjustly held captive—supporting them, elevating their voices, and pushing for action at the highest levels of government. This Giving Tuesday, your support strengthens the lifeline we provide to families living through the unthinkable. Together, we can continue pressing for accountability and fight for the return of every American unjustly held captive abroad. Thank you for standing with them - and with us.

Today, U Pyinya Zawta celebrates not only his birthday, but his freedom!  After 351 days of unjust detention in Myanmar, he was freed late last week and returned to his community in Buffalo, NY. We are honored to have been part of the community that advocated for his release and successfully secured his freedom. #WelcomeHome!
