Breitbart: A Turkish court ruled to free Pastor Andrew Brunson on Friday after two years of detention on Friday. He is reportedly on his way home to North Carolina.
“We are grateful for the President’s commitment and efforts in securing my release,” Brunson said in a statement released by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which has been working to secure his release. “My entire family thanks the president, the administration, and Congress for their unwavering support.”
“This is the day our family has been praying for – I am delighted to be on my way home to the United States,” Brunson said. “It’s been an extremely difficult time for our family and we want to express our appreciation to the millions of people around the world who have faithfully prayed for this day.”
“I am thankful for the representation of the American Center for Law & Justice – especially ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow and ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil – as well as the many others who worked so hard to obtain my freedom,” Brunson said.
“I look forward to returning home and being reunited with my family,” Brunson said. more here
Haven’t read the article but I hate to think what they put him through to try to “persuade” him to convert. They’d have held him up as a prize to Allah, and so would the wicked MSM.
Looked him up in Wikipedia and under ‘Arrest’ it says he had lived in Turkey for 23 years and he was applying for permanent Turkey residency. I find it a little suspicious and don’t know why.
After watching Midnight Express, the only involvement I want to have with turkey is at Thanksgiving. And maybe Christmas.
And right on cue, Barry the confused mulatto, gay, kenyan, indonesian, closet muzzie is taking credit for it.
I wonder if Turkey delayed releasing him so they could get him back up to a normal weight and the bruising had time to heal?
