LOKEN, Chief Judge.
Alga Ogbay Woldemichael, a 54-year-old citizen of Eritrea, and her young son, Nazrawi Yemane Abraham, entered the United States in September 1999 on non-immigrant visas and applied for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture, claiming that Woldemichael would be persecuted as a Jehovah’s Witness if removed to Eritrea. An immigration judge (IJ) denied the application after a hearing. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed without opinion. Woldemichael petitions for judicial review of the final agency action. We deny the petition.
