Pastor accused of leading terror group going to trial

by Tola Mbakwe

Andrew Brunson was jailed in December 2016 over alleged ties with the Fetullah Gulen movement; an organisation authorities believe was connected with a failed coup in Turkey the summer before.

Gulen, who's in the US, is a well-known political opponent of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to Christian charity Open Doors USA, the 50-year-old is set to stand trial before a Turkish criminal court on 16th April.

He will have to defend himself against charges of on espionage and terrorism-related accusations that could imprison him for up to 35 years, essentially putting him behind bars for life in Turkey.
