Halim v. Holder, No. 04-74868

In a petition for review of the BIA's denial of petitioner's asylum application, the petition is denied where petitioner failed to make a compelling showing that: 1) the reported incidents of discrimination against him amounted to persecution; 2) the incidents provided an objective basis for a well-founded fear of future persecution; or 3) he was a member of a disfavored group who had been individually targeted.
