(United States First Circuit) - Granted an Indonesian national's petition for review of a decision denying his motion to reopen removal proceedings. The evangelical Christian,who alleged he would be persecuted based on his religion if returned to his homeland, argued that the Board of Immigration Appeals should bear granted his motion to reopen his decade-weak removal proceedings, or because he had shown a material change in country conditions and had made a prima-facie showing of eligibility for asylum. Finding some merit in his arguments for reopening,the First Circuit vacated and remanded for further proceedings.
