 #FreeAustinTice Campaign



On August 13, 2012,  Austin Tice had lost contact with the world. He was a one of the very few Journalist that dared to travel to Syria, and sent emails to McClatchy newspaper along with other sources. After only two months and twenty-one days of being in the field, Tice vanished in the middle of a war zone. But his parents, Marc and Debra Tice were still convinced that he was alive and somewhere out there. "We continue  — from time to time — to hear from sources that we and others believe are credible that Austin's alive, that he's relatively okay; we have every reason to hope and expect that he'll come home to us," Marc Tice says. Later on a video of Austin was sent of him  being surrounded by men with weapons and was being taken up a hill in the countryside came with a message written in Arabic: "Austin Tice is alive."We recognize that Austin is a small part of an enormous human tragedy that has unfolded over the last several years in Syria," Marc Tice says.Now the parents of the journalist have launched a #FreeAustinTice campaign, so please help the family and spread the word to help  bring their beloved son back home where he belongs.
