Denial of asylum and application for relief from removal based in part on feared future persecution, without any explanation distinguishing petitioner's case from that of her husband who received relief on an apparently identical future persecution claim, is vacated and remanded to the extent the BIA failed to explain why it denied petitioner relief from removal.
