Dennis’ Detention
On January 27, 2025, Dennis was detained without charges by the Taliban General Directorate of Intelligence while legally working to support Afghan language communities as an academic researcher. To this day, he has not been charged with any crime.
Dennis has been held in near-solitary conditions, requiring permission even to use the bathroom, and without access to adequate medical care. His family is deeply concerned for his health and well-being.On June 2, 2025, the U.S. State Department officially declared that Dennis is being Wrongfully Detained in Afghanistan under the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
A Family’s Heartbreak
Dennis’s elderly mother, Donna, and his three sisters—Amy, Patti, and Molly—miss him profoundly. This past year has been marked by absence and grief. The weekly phone calls that once connected them are gone. Dennis has missed the births of his grandniece and grandnephew, along with countless family birthdays and anniversaries.
His mother waits to see his face. His sisters long for their brother to come home.
