Edwin v. United States

Facts:

            Petitioner Immigration and Naturalization Service challenged a decision of the United States Court of Appeals, which held that respondent alien was entitled to asylum because a guerilla organization's attempt to coerce him into performing military service constituted persecution on account of political opinion under § 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101(a)(42).

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • A guerrilla organization's attempt to coerce a person into performing military service does not necessarily constitute persecution on account of political opinion under § 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101(a)(42). 
  • The ordinary meaning of the phrase persecution on account of political opinion in § 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.S. § 1101(a)(42), is persecution on account of the victim's political opinion, not the persecutor's.
