Detained Pastor Brunson files fresh appeal

American Pastor Andrew Craig  Brunson, the man detained in Turkey on terror-related charges and espionage, and who is one of the reasons for the economic hostilities against Turkey by the United States, has filed a fresh appeal for freedom.

Brunson’s lawyer Cem Halavurt confirmed to AFP that he appealed for the release of his client once again on Tuesday, saying that: “The court should deliver its ruling in the next three days.”

Brunson is at the moment under house arrest.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the US embassy charge d’affaires was due to visit Brunson on Tuesday, and also adding that talks were under way to come out of the crisis.
