A federal appeals court has reversed a ruling by the Board of Immigration Appeals that denied asylum to a Pakistani citizen. The court found merit in his claim that he would be targeted for cooperating with General Pervez Musharraf’s government if he’s sent back home.

On February 11 in Mustafa v. Holder, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit granted Ghulam Mustafa’s petition for review of the appeals board’s ruling and remanded the case.
