PER CURIAM: ^[*]

Yanuarius Dedyson Usboko, a native and citizen of Indonesia, petitions for review of an order of the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) upholding the denial of withholding of removal. We review for substantial evidence. See Chen v. Gonzales , 470 F.3d 1131, 1134 (5th Cir. 2006). Under this standard, reversal is improper unless we decide not only that the evidence supports a *2 Case: 15-60811 Document: 00513904724 Page: 2 Date Filed: 03/09/2017

contrary conclusion, but also that the evidence compels it. Id .; see 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B).

Usboko argues that he made the requisite showing of past persecution on account of his religion through testimony showing that in 1998, he and other churchgoers were beaten and referring generally to other incidents of violence. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s finding that Usboko failed to satisfy the burden of proving that he has suffered past persecution on account of his religion. This court has found no persecution under circumstances more dire than those experienced by Usboko. See Mikhael v. INS , 115 F.3d 299, 304 (5th Cir. 1997); see also Eduard v. Ashcroft , 379 F.3d 182, 187-88 (5th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, the evidence does not compel the conclusion that Usboko has shown past persecution on account of religion or otherwise shown that it is more likely than not that his life or freedom would be threatened by persecution on account of religion in Indonesia. See Efe v. Ashcroft , 293 F.3d 899, 903 (5th Cir. 2002). We DENY the petition of review.
