Court of Appeals denies asylum
On February 6th, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit made the decision to deny Torben’s asylum claim.
Read the court ruling here (pdf).
Two notable facts from the decision to deny Torben asylum follow.
First, it wrongly states that he overstayed his visa period of 90 days, as Torben pointed out earlier in this timeline.
Second, it points to the presence of Torben's son in Denmark as an indication that there is no persecution. However, Torben's son did not appear on TV in Denmark. He was not the face of a public Christian ministry, nor de he experience the sudden cancellation of his visa in the US and other related events.
