MEMORANDUM
Varinder Kaur Gill, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying her application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review for substantial evidence, Rostomian v. INS, 210 F.3d 1088, 1089 (9th Cir.2000), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review.
Gill was detained briefly three times over an eleven-year period, and although she was slapped and verbally threatened, she did not require medical treatment. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s conclusion that any harm Gill may have suffered, even in the aggregate, did not rise to the level of persecution. See Gu v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 1014, 1019-21 (9th Cir.2006). Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s conclusion that Gill failed to establish past persecution or an objective, well-founded fear of persecution on account of a protected ground. See Sangha v. INS, 103 F.3d 1482, 1486 (9th Cir.1997). Accordingly Gill’s asylum claim fails.
