Andrew Brunson has now been wrongly detained in a Turkish prison for more than 4
months. We know President Trump spoke with the President of Turkey by phone recently.
Members of the U.S. House and Senate have written letters to President Erdogan, asking
for Andrew's prompt release. Yet Turkey has shown no willingness to budge. Our desire is
for President Trump to ask the President of Turkey to release Andrew.
A White House petition has been prepared calling for Andrew’s release. By March 8th, we
hope to reach 100,000 signatures. As of this writing, almost 81,000 signatures are still
needed. It only takes a couple of minutes to sign the petition. The url is:
