Turkish, and US officials, in Washington this week American. Pastor, Andrew Brunson, remains, under house arrest in, Turkey he, faces another hearing, on espionage. Related charges in October, many, called the proceedings, a kangaroo, court and until, now Brunson, supporters, have no idea, what's happening, Jennifer. Wishon brings us, this first-hand, account from inside, the courtroom a. Courtroom. Designed, to make pastor Brunson, feel defeated, bogus. Witnesses, bribed by the prosecution. And the power of forgiveness. An eyewitness, takes, us inside, pastor. Brunson's, persecution. In Turkey, the, court, used. To be like a basketball, court or some sort of sports court that has been turning to a courtroom right next to a very large prison, and, a, way, up front there are three judges on a race dais, and very, low is pastor, Andrew Brunson, witnesses. For the prosecution and. Pastor Brandon's lawyer there over five hundred chairs. Between him in the area where observers. Like me and his wife are allowed to see Christina. Arriaga, of the u.s. Commission on International Religious. Liberty attended, pastor Branson's most recent, hearing seated. Beside his, wife Noreen, she, watched in disbelief because. Pastor. Brunson, cannot see very well from far away any time he looks back towards his wife she stands up it puts her hand, over her heart so, he knows he's not alone pastor, Brunson sat there while he heard former. Church members, people probably that he baptized, people that he had tea with, testify. Against, him and the, judge one point turned. To him around, noontime. Asked, Andrew Brunson to speak for himself and. He said my faith teaches, me to forgive so. I forgive, those who just testified, against me there, was a chill in the room I know his wife who was graceful. And extremely. Strong probably. Found, it to be a natural answer but I I. Was stunned, and moved to tears when, when, he said that, why, would. His. Church. Members. People that he was intimate, with. Testify. Against him I imagine, these people were under tremendous pressure, to, keep their jobs or feed their families, we don't know what kind of threats they were under, Brunson. Has been transferred, from prison to house arrest but, Arriaga fears, that puts him at risk but he's in a terribly, dangerous situation. Because. The. Brunson's. Are portrayed in the Turkish press as people, who are against the state of Turkey and I have great fears there's, going to be an increase, of incitement, to violence against, them and no one will be able to stop someone, a mob that tries to go and kill him armed with sanctions, and the power to withhold, f-35. Fighter jets. Turkey wants to purchase US. Officials, from the White House to Congress, continue.
