Persecution based on a person’s citizenship or national origin qualifies under this ground, providing refuge to those affected.

This category includes individuals facing persecution due to their religious beliefs, practices, or the lack thereof, seeking protection.
Political Opinion
Individuals can seek asylum if they are persecuted due to their political beliefs, including opposition to government actions or policies.
