LEVIN H. CAMPBELL, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Valli Kandiah Ravindran, a citizen of Sri Lanka, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals which denied his request for political asylum and withholding of deportation. We have jurisdiction to hear his appeal pursuant to Section 106(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“the Act”), 8 U.S.C. § 1105a(a). See Ipina v. I.N.S., 868 F.2d 511, 513 n. 5 (1st Cir.1989). Because substantial evidence supports the BIA’s decision, we deny the petition for review.
