United States First Circuit

In an immigration case involving claims of asylum and claims of Convention Against Torture violations, petition for review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals is denied where: 1) petitioners' alleged incidents of past harassment did not rise to the level of persecution which would make them eligible for asylum; 2) ineligible for asylum, petitioners could not meet the higher standard for withholding from removal; and 3) petitioners' CAT claim included no evidence of threat of torture.
