Pushpa Joshi, sister of hostage Bipin Joshi, spoke at a rally in Hostages Square and said: "My brother is a student who got caught in a war where he has no side." She added: "It took us 22 months to find the strength to come here. We were isolated in Nepal, separated by language, culture and fear. We focused on praying for him, but prayers are not enough. The recent videos of Rom and Avitar shattered us. Almost two years without any sign of life. Is he starving? Wounded? Alive? We beg President Trump and the U.S. government to remain committed to a deal that will bring all hostages home."
