On October 11, a Nigerian court denied Binance executive Tigran Gam baryan's request for bail due to illness, which triggered a strong opposition from Binance. In a statement, a Binance spokesperson said: "We are deeply disappointed by the court's decision to deny Tigran bail, especially given his deteriorating health. He has been illegally detained for more than 220 days. Tigran did not go to Nigeria as a decision maker and there is no reason to keep him in custody. We are committed to policy partnerships with Nigeria, but Tigran must be allowed to return home." Binance has always stressed that Gam baryan has no substantive decision-making power on the exchange, and that his prolonged detention has raised humanitarian concerns. As Gam baryan's health has deteriorated and his detention has dragged on, calls for his release have grown louder. Binance, along with a number of international advocates, continues its fight for freedom.
