denying their application for withholding of removal. We have jurisdiction under

8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo the agency’s legal determinations, and for

substantial evidence factual findings. Wakkary v. Holder, 558 F.3d 1049, 1056

(9th Cir. 2009). We deny the petition for review.

       Even if credible, substantial evidence supports the agency’s determination

that petitioners’ experiences of harassment and religious discrimination do not rise

to the level of past persecution. See Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1059-60. Substantial

evidence also supports the agency’s determination that petitioners failed to

establish a clear probability of persecution because, even if the disfavored group

analysis set forth in Sael v. Ashcroft, 386 F.3d 922, 927-29 (9th Cir. 2004), applies

to petitioners, they have not demonstrated the requisite individualized risk of

persecution. See Hoxha v. Ashcroft, 319 F.3d 1179, 1184-85 (9th Cir. 2003); see

also Wakkary, 558 F.3d at 1066 (“[A]n applicant for withholding of removal will

need to adduce a considerably larger quantum of individualized-risk evidence to

prevail[.]”).

       Contrary to petitioners’ contention, the proceedings were not “so

fundamentally unfair that [they were] prevented from reasonably presenting [their]

case.” Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir. 2000) (citation omitted).

       PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
