department reports concede that there are ethnic tensions and the continued to be ethnic tensions between individuals in macedonia of macedonia descent and ethnic albanians mr tobacco is an ethnic albanian born in macedonia in fact on page one eighty six of the administrative records the state department reports that there are increasing destabilizing tensions in was that whether or not petitioner was required to wear the or likes it to wear it in the future the testimony that was brought out in the hearing was that mr tobacco indicated he in fact if it were he to return albania would wear the emblem prominently in as much as it stands for his albanian heritage and he would wear because he thought he wanted to be no compulsion from the outside that he would where no compulsion from the outside other than his own belief in the independent autonomous state of albania within macedonia and the fact of his political opinions again because of his wearing of an emblem namely the eagle a ring that in one point in time he was stopped by the militia in macedonia the ring was confiscated stepped on the ground and there was testimony that he in fact went to jail for a period of time for that was also another just for that or just went to jail for time it's not clear in the record your honour's but it appears that he testified at one point in the record that he was sent to jail for that for seven to and that was not discounted by the i g i believe and the uncle also testified that there were not only his immediate family members namely his daughters who when they returned to macedonia were wearing ethnic symbols emblems like the eagle they were sorry i can religion plays where people have exactly their religion dictates that they do x y and z exactly that because they like it or even why they might do it because of their conviction but not because of any illogical compulsion to do that thing as opposed to believe so we believe that the objective component was met by these state department reports and in fact the immigration judge concedes that tensions continue to exist with respect to the subjective component given the testimony of the uncle that has not been discounted an hasn't shown that his or there's no record evidence in any case that he's somehow compelled to to perform the acts or to engage in the activity that he claims he will the difference in that hypothetical for instance in your first before to religion is that those beliefs and those and that reasoning is so fundamental and necessarily so profound that a well founded fear could be based on something that a petitioner claims he or she would do but only if in that sense for instance if that was part of their religion and their belief system that they had already substantiated in this case mr taboo has not substantiated that he ever wore nationalistic and ones or that he been jailed detained and otherwise innocent persecuted or mistreated because of doing those things that may have supported a finding of past persecution and could even be a basis for a well founded fear but again there is no record evidence own family members notwithstanding the fact that the i did not find his testimony incredible there's no other evidence beyond his testimony to substantiate the claim that his brother or his cousin or any other ethnic albanian was persecuted for the same reason an objective we reasonable fear on behalf of petition because he also testified that his brother and his cousin had actually warning and once that there is no evidence in the record that mr tabak who ever wore such and once and again never intended to do so flies the what i call the compulsion doctrine or the reasonable
