United States First Circuit

In removal proceedings that a Chinese national sought to reopen on the basis of changed country conditions affecting his claim for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture based on religion and political opinion, a petition for review of the BIA's denial of the motion is denied, where: 1) the BIA did not fail to consider the evidence the petitioner submitted as to changed country conditions; and 2) the materials that the petitioner submitted in support of his motion to reopen did not establish a fundamental change in country conditions such that a reopening of his case would be justified under the law.
