A New Zealand court has temporarily halted the extradition of a murder-accused man to China over concerns about human rights and torture.

Korean citizen and New Zealand resident Kyung Kim is accused of killing a woman while on holiday in Shanghai in 2009. In the first case of its kind between the two countries, China’s government requested he be extradited in 2011.
