(A) Andrew Brunson, '88 (and wife Norine, '89).
Mr Brunson, an American citizen from North Carolina, held in a Turkish prison since October 2016. He has been a Christian pastor in Turkey for the past 23 years. Turkey's government, led by an Islamic party whose head is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan , has been increasingly paranoid since a failed coup attempt. They have been cracking down on Christians.
