PER CURIAM: Rajib Hossain, a native and citizen of Bangladesh, petitions for review of the order by the Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”), affirming the decision of the Immigration Judge (“IJ”). The IJ’s decision denied Hossain’s application for asylum. No re- versible error has been shown; we dismiss the petition in part and deny the petition in part. 1 Hossain entered the United States in 2018 and was charged as removable. Hossain later filed an application for asylum. In sup- port of his application, Hossain said he had been persecuted by members of the Awami League (Bangladesh’s ruling party) based upon his political opinion. In 2015, Hossain joined the Liberal Democratic Party (“LDP”) of Bangladesh and was later promoted to serve as a “publicity editor” for the LDP. On ten or twelve oc- casions, Hossain (then living in Chittagong) was harassed verbally 1 In his appeal to the BIA, Hossain raised no challenge to the IJ’s denial of withholding of removal or the IJ’s denial of relief under the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treat- ment or Punishment. Those issues are thus not properly before us on appeal. See Amaya-Artunduaga v. U.S. Att’y Gen., 463 F.3d 1247, 1250-51 (11th Cir. 2006) (“We lack jurisdiction to consider a claim raised in a petition for review unless the petitioner has exhausted his administrative remedies with respect thereto.”). We dismiss the petition to the extent Hossain seeks to appeal the denial of these forms of relief. USCA11 Case: 20-14863 Date Filed: 03/23/2022 Page: 3 of 9 20-14863 Opinion of the Court 3 by local members of the Awami League who threatened to kill Hossain unless he agreed to leave the LDP. Hossain was also attacked physically on two occasions. The first attack happened in May 2017, as Hossain left an LDP event with two other LDP members. Members of the Awami League struck Hossain with sticks and told Hossain to leave the LDP or else they would “finish” him. The attackers fled when Hossain’s screams attracted the attention of nearby witnesses. Hossain suf- fered injuries to his knees and back and received treatment at a lo- cal pharmacy. Hossain’s two companions suffered no injuries. Hossain never reported the incident to the police. Hossain was attacked a second time in October 2017, after Hossain delivered a speech critical of the Awami League at an LDP event. Hossain says his attackers hit him with sticks and carried (but did not use) a knife and a gun. The attackers threatened to …
