United States Second Circuit

Petition for review of denial of petitioner's application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief pursuant to the Convention Against Torture, is denied where, in light of the fact that petitioner provided no evidence of long-lasting physical or psychological effects of the persecution he experienced, the BIA's decision to deny "humanitarian asylum" was supported by substantial evidence.
