NINTH CIRCUIT DECIDES LOLONG CASE;OTHER INDONESIAN ASYLUM CASES STILL HAVE CHANCE OF WINNING

On May 7, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco denied the petition for review in Lolong v. Gonzales. The petitioner, Majorie Konda Lolong, is an ethnic Chinese Christian citizen of Indonesia.

However, the Ninth Circuit, in effect, said that it denied Ms. Lolong’s asylum application, because she did not show any personal discrimination, harassment or violence in Indonesia based on her Chinese ethnicity or Christian faith.

As a result, the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922 (9th Cir. 2004), remains good law. In Ms. Sael’s case, she did show that she suffered some discrimination, harassment and threats of violence in Indonesia based on her Chinese ethnicity. Ms. Sael’s evidence was not unlike that in many other Indonesian asylum cases.
