What is the expiation for being forced to give a false testimony in order to achieve reform?

Answered as per Shafi'i Fiqh by Darul Iftaa Jordan
What is the expiation for being forced to give a false testimony in order to achieve reform?

Answer:
Achieving reform is done by following the way of Allah through giving back rights to whom they belong. Therefore, repenting to Allah from false testimony is only achieved by abrogating it, and the person in question should expiate for that oath if he had taken it, so that Allah may forgive him.
