denying their application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under
8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo the agency’s legal determinations, and for
substantial evidence factual findings. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056
(9th Cir. 2009). We deny the petition for review.
Even if credible, substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination
that petitioners’ experiences of harassment and religious discrimination do not rise
to the level of past persecution. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1059-60. Substantial
evidence also supports the agency’s determination that petitioners failed to
establish a clear probability of persecution because, even if the disfavored group
analysis set forth in Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-29 (9th Cir. 2004), applies
to petitioners, they have not demonstrated the requisite individualized risk of
persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2003); see
also Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1066 (“[A]n applicant for withholding of removal will
need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence to
prevail[.]”).
Contrary to petitioners’ contention, the proceedings were not “so
fundamentally unfair that [they were] prevented from reasonably presenting [their]
case.” Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir. 2000) (citation omitted).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
