Before Torruella and Boudin, Circuit Judges, and Saris, *fn1 District Judge.

Decky FNU,*fn2 together with his wife and daughter as derivative beneficiaries (collectively, “petitioners”), seek review of the decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirming the denial of applications for asylum under Section 208 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the “Act”), for withholding of removal under Section 241(b)(3) of the Act, and for withholding of removal under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Decky contends that the BIA erred when it determined that evidence of mistreatment experienced by petitioners in their native Indonesia, considered as a whole and in the context of relevant country conditions, failed to rise to the level of persecution within the meaning of the immigration laws. After careful consideration, we find that the BIA’s decision was supported by substantial evidence and therefore deny the petition for review.
