Sen. Bob Casey described Marc Fogel as a “loving father and dedicated teacher whose life is in danger” while urging President Joe Biden and his administration to “do everything possible to bring Marc home.”

Copeland Burchenal, center left, holds a sign that reads "Wrongfully Detained 700 Days" during a demonstration on July 15, 2023, outside of the White House calling for the release of his uncle, Allegheny County resident Marc Fogel, who has been detained in Russia since August 2021.

Marc Fogel, a 61-year-old Allegheny County resident, is serving a 14-year sentence in a maximum-security Russian penal colony after being caught at an airport in August 2021 with 17 grams, or just over half an ounce, of medical marijuana prescribed for chronic back pain.
