• holding that IJ’s credibility determination was not supported by the record because “[wjhether [applicant] reported the kidnapping and beating to the police is less relevant than the fact that he was actually kidnapped and beaten.”
• disregarding inconsistency as to whether applicant was beaten at police station or only questioned
• Although the Court must afford “substantial deference” to an IJ’s adverse credibility determination, the determination “must be supported by specific reasons.”
