The following excerpt is from Castro-Guzman v. I.N.S., 122 F.3d 1070 (9th Cir. 1997):
To be eligible for a discretionary grant of asylum, the petitioner must demonstrate she has suffered past persecution, or has a well-founded fear of future persecution. See 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(42)(A). The petitioner must show by credible, direct, and specific evidence in the record, facts supporting a reasonable fear of persecution on account of, among other grounds, her political opinion. See Prasad v. INS, 47 F.3d 336, 338 (9th Cir.1995).
