I will continue working with colleagues to advance an amendment calling for Azerbaijan to immediately and unconditionally release all Armenian prisoners of war and political detainees through the legislative process.

I am pleased that this amendment received bipartisan support, and I will continue working with my colleagues to advance it through the legislative process.

Sherman committed to keep working with colleagues to advance his bipartisan amendment calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Armenian POWs and political detainees held by Azerbaijan.

Congressman Brad Sherman Urges Support for Bipartisan Amendment Calling for Release of Armenian POWs | Congressman Brad Sherman
primary · press_release · model gpt-5.5

ANCA's 119th Congress page for Brad Sherman marks 'Yes' for cosponsoring the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act (H.R.5369), signing the Armenian Caucus letter urging Armenian prisoner release and Armenia security guarantees, and includes January 16, 2026 posts calling for every wrongfully taken Armenian POW to be released immediately. The page does not list a June 11-July 10, 2026 amendment action.

Sherman took same-term actions on Armenian prisoner release, but the latest located Sherman-specific evidence is not a new amendment advanced during the 30-day lookback window.

ANCA reported that a bipartisan letter led by Armenian Caucus leaders Frank Pallone, David Valadao, Brad Sherman, and Gus Bilirakis called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz to secure the release of Armenian prisoners illegally held in Azerbaijan and strengthen Armenia security guarantees.

Sherman helped lead a concrete congressional letter pressing the executive branch on prisoner release, showing serious work on the substance of the promise, though not an amendment moving through the legislative process.

ANCA described H.R.5369, the Azerbaijan Sanctions Review Act of 2025, as bipartisan legislation to review Global Magnitsky sanctions against Azerbaijani officials responsible for war crimes, human rights abuses, and the ongoing illegal detention of Armenian prisoners of war and civilian captives. ANCA's Sherman scorecard separately marks him as a cosponsor of H.R.5369.

Sherman's reported cosponsorship of a sanctions bill tied to Armenian prisoner release is relevant legislative action, but it is not the promised amendment itself.

The House Rules Committee amendment PDF was identified as a Cardenas amendment to Rules Committee Print 117-13 concerning Azerbaijan and Armenian prisoners of war. This appears to be the earlier legislative vehicle behind the commitment to keep advancing such an amendment.

This official amendment source supports that the policy had a legislative amendment vehicle in a prior Congress, but it does not show Sherman newly advanced it during the current lookback window.

The most recent Sherman-specific items shown on the ANCA 119th Congress page are February 24, 2026, February 10, 2026, February 2, 2026, and January 2026 social posts, plus 2025 legislative and letter actions. No evidence on that page shows a new Armenian-prisoner amendment advanced in the June 11-July 10, 2026 lookback window.

No concrete recent delivery signal was found in the lookback window; status remains unresolved as to the specific promise to advance an amendment through the legislative process.
