context: Persecution "does not encompass all treatment that our society regards as unfair, unjust or even unlawful or unconstitutional.... Persecution must be extreme conduct to qualify for ... protection." Temporary detainment, some physical abuse not requiring medical attention, and being fired from one's job -- as Petitioner has alleged -- does not rise to this level of "extreme conduct" required to show persecution.
