The Taliban detained American citizen George Glezmann almost two years ago.
His wife, Aleksandra Glezmann, told Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne that George was a Delta Air Lines mechanic at the time he was wrongfully detained in Afghanistan where he was traveling as a tourist.
Aleksandra Glezmann desperately hopes her husband will be back in Atlanta as soon as possible.
George Glezmann has made a plea to President Joe Biden aimed at making that happen before his presidency is over.
He made his comments to Biden during a phone call on October 31 before President-elect Donald Trump won the election.
“I received a brief phone call from George where he sounded very desperate and had a lot of fear and pain. And he wanted me to record this message for President Biden,” Aleksandra said.
“Just get us out, please, before you go out. I’m afraid they, um, the elections are going to happen. And then the, the, the inauguration and a new government is going to come in and everything is going to start all over again,” George Glezmann said in the recorded message to Biden.
