The United States ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has joined the clamour for the release of Tigran Gambaryan, an executive of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Mr Gambaryan has been in detention in Nigeria since February.
Ms Thomas-Greenfield made the request during a conversation with Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tugar, at the ongoing 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The US envoy remarked that the issue is of utmost importance for US diplomatic efforts.
“While further details regarding Gambaryan’s detention were not provided in the official readout, this issue underscores the complexities of international relations and the role that diplomacy plays in protecting U.S. citizens abroad,” the envoy added.
