Turkey court rules to keep US pastor jailed, next hearing July 18

A Turkish court rules to keep in detention an American pastor jailed in Turkey for the last one and a half years on terror-related charges, setting the next trial hearing for July 18.

Andrew Brunson, head of a small Protestant church in the western city of Izmir, faces up to 35 years in jail if he is convicted in a case that has strained ties with Washington.
