Alexandrescu v. Mukasey (8/7/08)
LYNCH, Torruella and Boudin
The Court found that Alexandrescu had not suffered economic deprivation in being demoted and eventually asked to leave his military position as he “lost his job, not his ability to make a living”. In rejecting Alexandrescu’s argument that he had established a fear of future persecution based on his fear of being imprisoned for failing to inform the military of his whereabouts as required by Romanian law, the Court stated that generally, “a sovereign nation’s normal penalties for avoiding military service are not considered persecution.” Finally, the Court held that Alexandrescu provided no proof of who specifically would seek to persecute him on account of any protected ground.
