Petition for review of a final order of the BIA denying a Ugandan national’s application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the CAT is denied where: 1) petitioner has not met her burden of proving past persecution nor likelihood of future persecution on her return to Uganda as no evidence other than speculation was presented; 2) there is nothing to compel a factfinder’s conclusion that the petitioner would more likely than not be tortured if removed.
