May God have mercy on his soul and May he rest in peace 🕊️🙏

“In 2025, I traveled to a liberated Syria. I stood at a mass grave where he may have been buried. I had been to places like this before, with him, as a child, in Kosovo. He was the one who explained to me what mass graves mean. What they take from families. What they demand of the people left behind. I thought I was learning history. I didn’t understand I was learning a language I would one day need for myself. This time, I was the one searching.” "The Soil He Prepared Me For," a powerful & deeply personal op-ed by Maryam Kamalmaz, daughter of Dr. Majd Kamalmaz, a Syrian American humanitarian killed in Syria.

The Foley Foundation is deeply sorry, @MKamalmaz. This is heartbreaking and unjust. Your father’s compassion and humanity shine through in your words and his legacy will live on in the lives he touched. Our thoughts are with you and your family. May his memory be a blessing.

We’ve learned the horrible news of what happened to my father... he was executed in Sednaya Prison, infamously known as the “human slaughterhouse," sentenced to death by an Assad regime judge nicknamed “The Butcher.” He was executed without a crime or charges. My dad was the most caring and compassionate person I knew, always caring so deeply for everyone around him. A loving grandfather and an award-winning humanitarian who lived a life of compassion and service, ripped away from our family by heartless criminals. May his soul rest in peace. 🕊️ We will never forget him or all the other victims of these atrocities. May every person responsible for these crimes be exposed, judged, and held accountable for the suffering they inflicted. #Syria

Two years ago today, on May 18, 2024, the family of Dr. Majd Kamalmaz received the confirmation they had feared after more than 7 agonizing years of waiting: Majd had died in Syria after being forcibly disappeared by the Syrian regime. On Feb. 15, 2017, Dr. Kamalmaz was stopped at a checkpoint while traveling to Damascus on a humanitarian mission. From that moment on, he vanished into the darkness of Syria’s detention system; held without charges, without trial, & without sentence. Hostage Aid honors the unimaginable strength the family has shown throughout this painful journey. Dr. Majd Kamalmaz was a devoted husband, loving father, respected therapist, & humanitarian. The regime may have stolen his life, but it could never erase the humanity he gave to others or the love that continues to surround his memory. Today, we remember not only the horror of what was done to him, but the life he lived, the people he touched, & the legacy he leaves behind. @MKamalmaz @FreeMajdK

Today, we remember Majd Kamalmaz, an American-Syrian humanitarian and psychotherapist. Majd was wrongfully detained and disappeared by the Assad regime in 2017 while providing mental health support in Syria and he became one of countless victims of Assad’s government. Although the U.S. government confirmed Majd’s death in May 2024, his family is still denied justice and the return of his remains. We honor Majd’s life and work, and we will not let him be forgotten.

Today Majd Kamalmaz should have been spending his birthday surrounded by his loved ones who spent years trying to find out what happened to him since his kidnapping in Damascus in 2017. Hostage Aid team remains determined to seek answers on the fate of the Americans & other foreigners missing in Syria. We reiterate our call to @POTUS to use his remaining time in office to put all resources available at his disposal to help find & #BringThemHome!

When will the #USG join us on the ground in Syria & use its vast resources to help locate American journalist Austin Tice & find out what happened to Majd Kamalmaz & other Americans missing in the country? After 12 yrs for Austin, & 7 yrs for Majd, Now is the best opportunity to bring these men home. We need all the help we can get. If you have any information, please contact us on WhatsApp: 9613733933 or at friendsofaustintice@gmail.com للمساعدة والتواصل، يمكنكم الاتصال عبر واتساب على الرقم: 009613733933 أو عبر البريد الإلكتروني على friendsofaustintice@gmail.com #اوستن_تايس @POTUS @JakeSullivan46 @brett_mcgurk @StateDept @SecBlinken @StateDeptSpox @StateSPEHA @VP @HouseForeign @HouseForeignGOP @WhiteHouse @MarcATice @DebraTice @USEmbassySyria @washingtonpost @PressClubDC @mcclatchy @ptalamantes @mccarrennews @FreeAustinTice @NPCInstitute @wppressfreedom @RSF_en @pressfreedom @rcfp @PeterHuvos @marcorubio @RepAlGreen @NSC_Spox @MKamalmaz @FreeMajdK

Amid the unfolding scenes of prisoners being released in Syria after years of captivity, we cannot but remember Majd Kamalmaz, the American humanitarian & psychotherapist kidnapped in 2017 at a Damascus checkpoint while helping refugees. With all the detainees who have spent decades in captivity & whose parents believed they were gone forever, one wonders about Majd Kamalmaz. @MKamalmaz @FreeMajdK

Exactly what my father was wearing 2017 when he was kidnapped at a checkpoint in Damascus.. if anyone knows anything about him please please please contact us. 🙏 we’ve heard he was as murdered by the regime but have no further info.

The Foley Foundation’s one-of-a-kind research has identified 42 Americans who are currently being held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. Support our efforts to advocate for their release. Follow us. Learn more. Repost. Inspire moral courage. #JimFoley10Years #FoleyFoundation

It’s International day of the disappeared.. gone since 2017 we may never know what happened to his body or exactly how they tortured him to death but that’s what the brutal #Syrian gov. is best at doing.. kidnapping, disappearing, torturing & killing w/o ever charging a crime.

12 years ago, Austin Tice was taken hostage by the #Assad regime. He has been suffering as Assad's prisoner and at the hands of his barbaric regime since. We must continue to fight to bring Austin and all other Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad home safely to their families and stop this distressing trend of our foreign adversaries taking and wrongfully holding an American with impunity.
