 (1) the person must have suffered past persecution or fear future persecution; 
 
(2) the fear must be well founded;

(3) the persecution must be on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion; and

(4) the person must be unable or unwilling to return to his country of nationality or to the country in which he last habitually resided because of persecution or his well founded fear of persecution.
