Nineteen family members of Americans unlawfully detained abroad will take part in a day of activism in front of the White House Wednesday in the hope of securing a meeting with President Joe Biden that could lead to their loved ones returning home.
Alexandra Forseth, whose father and uncle are part of the so-called CITGO 6 -- five of whom remain in Venezuela -- told CNN family members of Americans detained in Venezuela, Rwanda, Iran, Afghanistan and Russia are expected to participate, both in person and virtually, in Wednesday's event at Lafayette Park. The father and sister of Trevor Reed, who was freed from Russian detention in a prisoner exchange last week, will also be there.
Inside the months-long effort to free Trevor Reed from detention in RussiaForseth, one of the leaders of the day of activism, said the idea for the event came together prior to Reed's release but that it was like"lighter fluid" for the families.
