Parents Of Missing Journalist Austin Tice Mark His 7th Year In Captivity
“We know he's alive," journalist Austin Tice's parents say.
Wednesday marks seven years since journalist Austin Tice was kidnapped by supporters of the Assad government at a checkpoint in Damascus, Syria, as he reported on the civil war that had just started there.
All we’ve seen of him since 2012 is a video of Tice five weeks later, blindfolded and bound, in distress, surrounded by men with firearms.
But his parents, Debra and Marc Tice (@MarcATice), say their son is still alive.
“We know he’s alive because we’ve had information from the highest level of our government that he is,” Debra says.
