Despite being in custody for several months, Gambaryan’s legal team has been denied access to him since July 26, in violation of the Nigerian Constitution and Section 45 of the Nigerian Prisons Regulations. This regulation stipulates that prisoners not under sentence should have daily opportunities to communicate with their legal advisors and family. The denial of this access has raised significant concerns regarding his right to a fair trial.

Gambaryan’s health has taken a severe turn for the worse during his time in detention. He suffers from a herniated disc, which has deteriorated to the point where he now requires specialized surgery. Additionally, he has developed multiple throat infections and pneumonia, necessitating further surgery to remove his tonsils. His condition has deteriorated to the extent that he is now wheelchair-bound and mostly bedridden.

Gambaryan worked as a special agent at the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for 10 years and focused on combating money laundering and tax evasion.

“Tigran should be released immediately on a humanitarian release, the remaining charges dropped, and he should return to America where he belongs,” Hill said. Houlahan also stated that Gambaryan was facing “difficult conditions” and that his health condition was not very good.

Other MPs also called for Gambaryan’s release. Earlier this month, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) and 15 other lawmakers demanded immediate action to bring Gambaryan back in a letter to President Joe Biden.

“Mr. Gambaryan’s health and well-being are at risk and we fear for his life. Immediate action is essential to ensure his safety and protect his life. We must act quickly before it is too late,” the letter said.

These developments draw attention to Gambaryan’s situation, increasing efforts to create international pressure for his release.
