Turkey releases U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson after 2 years in captivity
UPI reports: "Longtime Turkish captive Andrew Brunson was released from house arrest
Friday, allowing the pastor to return to the United States after two
years in captivity.
Brunson has been in Turkish custody since October 2016 when he was
arrested on charges that he spied on the government and aided in a
military coup attempt."
Comment: Please join me in offering thanks that Pastor Brunson has been released from imprisonment. He had been arrested on trumped up charges, part of the drama surrounding the failed coup attempt and Turkey's efforts to secure the arrest of the U.S. based Islamic cleric they blame for it. They had in mind a prisoner swap that apparently has not happened. Good news indeed!
