A concurrent resolution calling for the immediate release of Marc Fogel, a United States citizen and teacher, who was given an unjust and disproportionate criminal sentence by the Government of the Russian Federation in June 2022.

This concurrent resolution formally calls upon the Government of the Russian Federation to immediately release Marc Fogel, an American teacher who was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2022. The measure expresses the sense of Congress that Mr. Fogel’s sentence is disproportionate to his offense and urges the U.S. Department of State to prioritize his case and ensure he receives full consular access and medical care while in custody. While this resolution does not carry the force of law, it serves as an official diplomatic tool to increase international pressure on Russia and signal a unified congressional stance on his detention.
