Mark Fogle, a U.S. citizen, was detained in Russia for possessing marijuana, which he claimed he used for medical purposes. The incident occurred in August 2022, and while he has been in prison for nearly three years, his situation garnered little attention initially. In stark contrast to the swift negotiations that ultimately led to the release of WNBA player Britney Griner for similar charges, Fogle was largely forgotten by the Biden Administration during his prolonged incarceration.
