Tice worked in Syria as freelance journalist when unknown individuals took him hostage in August 2012, at the checkpoint in an area of the capital, according to the news agency dpa.

A couple of weeks later, his family was informed that a video had surfaced, showing Tice with the group of gunmen.

In the last week, Biden said the US government knew “with certainty that he is being detained by the Syrian regime”.

The President urged Syria to return Tice home.

The Foreign Ministry in Damascus, however, claimed that the Syrian government has not abducted or detained anyone American citizen.

However, the Ministry did not forget to mention that Tice and other Americans had entered Syria illegally.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation has offered a reward of $1 million for information that leads to the return of Tice.

After more than 11 years of civil war, the supporters of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad again account for around two thirds of the country’s population.

Human rights groups have discovered that thousands of thousands of people have been shackled to prison as well as torture and other abuses without a proper legal process.

The fate of many remains unknown, and a lot of others have died or been executed, as per reports.
