Wife of Ryan Corbett

Anna Corbett, whose husband Ryan has been detained by the Taliban for two years, continues to advocate for his release while raising their three children alone. Following a recent multi-country prisoner swap that successfully brought home three Americans from Russia, Anna expressed bittersweet feelings, noting the stark contrast in effort seen for others compared to her husband's situation. She has repeatedly sought meetings with officials, including national security adviser Jake Sullivan, but feels ignored and disheartened by the lack of communication and support from the government. Despite her efforts, which include multiple trips to Washington, she has not received a promised follow-up meeting. Anna's frustration culminated in a public plea outside the White House, urging officials to prioritize her husband's case. As the anniversary of Ryan's abduction approaches, the family remains hopeful yet anxious for his safe return.
