Ly Ying Sayaxing v. Immigration and Naturalization Service
Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
KANNE, Circuit Judge.
Ly Ying Sayaxing, a national and citizen of Laos, appeals the denial of his petition for asylum by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“Board”). He claims that if he is forced to return to Laos, the communist government will persecute him for his political and religious beliefs. While we sympathize with Ying’s concerns, we cannot say that the Board was wrong when it concluded that he failed to demonstrate an objectively reasonable basis for his fear and, that, therefore, he had not met the requirements of demonstrating a well-founded fear requirement for asylum.
