United States First Circuit

Petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' (BIA) denial of petitioner's applications for withholding of removal and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT) is: 1) granted in part and remanded, where the BIA's withholding-of-removal decision is contrary to the evidence because the record compels the conclusion that petitioner was subjected to threats and violence that rose to the level of past persecution; but 2) otherwise denied.
