The following excerpt is from Silva-Madrigal v. I.N.S., 85 F.3d 637 (9th Cir. 1996):
Ghaly, 58 F.3d at 1428 (citations omitted). If the objective component is satisfied, a well-founded fear can be shown as long as persecution is a reasonable possibility. "Even a ten percent chance that the occurrence will take place can be enough to establish a well-founded fear." Blanco-Comarribas v. INS, 830 F.2d 1039, 1042 (9th Cir.1987).
