United States Ninth Circuit

Petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of a motion to reopen removal proceedings based on changed country conditions concerning the treatment of Christians in Indonesia, is granted where: 1) the Board improperly evaluated petitioner's submission of newly available, material evidence of changed country conditions in Indonesia, particularly in light of petitioner's conversion to Catholicism following his 2006 hearing and the change in the basis of his claim for relief; and 2) the Board erred in its analysis of petitioner's individualized risk of future persecution.
