Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that physical abuse and violence at hands of government agents may preclude finding of mere harassment
• providing that the issue of whether harm rises to the level of persecution “involves the application of a legal standard to established facts”
• finding that 2 applicant must show more than harassment
• “A series of incidents of mistreatment may together rise to the level of persecution even if each incident taken alone does not.”
• applicant is not required to demonstrate 11 “permanent or serious injury” to establish persecution
• “[E]ven considering the above-summarized harm aggregately and in light of [Oliveros Hernandez’s] age at the time, the mistreatment and physical harm, which did not result in lasting injuries, are insufficiently severe to constitute persecution.” (emphasis added)
