A Chinese Christian minister who claims she was threatened and intimidated in Indonesia should have had a chance to present expert testimony on worsening conditions for Christians in that country, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has held.

A three-judge panel said a Board of Immigration Appeals judge erred when he gave “little, if any, weight” to an expert report on the increased threat to Chinese Christians in Indonesia and it should have allowed the evidence in the asylum application case of Indradjaja v. Holder, 12-1336-ag.
