MZZRA v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 622

MZZRA v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2015] FCA 622

The Tribunal considered and addressed all dispositive integers of the appellant's claim, including the risk of persecution for involvement in the lashkar and general violence in Karachi, and found there was not more than a remote chance of persecution outside Swat. Failure to specifically reference evidence about friends did not amount to a failure to complete its statutory duty, and the appeal grounds were not established.
