MEMORANDUM
Sari Anggriani and her husband, natives and citizens of Indonesia, petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing their appeal from an immigration judge’s decision denying then-application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252 . We review de novo questions of law and review for substantial evidence factual findings. See Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056 (9th Cir.2009). We deny the petition for review.
Substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination that Anggriani did not experience harms in Indonesia amounting to past persecution. See id. at 1059-60 ; Halim v. Holder, 590 F.3d 971, 975-76 (9th Cir.2009). In addition, even as a member of a disfavored group, the record does not compel the conclusion that Anggriani established a well-founded fear of persecution in Indonesia because she did not demonstrate sufficient individualized risk of persecution. See Halim, 590 F.3d at 979 ; cf Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-29 (9th Cir.2004). Accordingly, petitioners’ asylum claim fails.
