SZQXE v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1292

SZQXE v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1292

The appeal was dismissed because the Independent Merits Reviewer's reasons showed a genuine assessment of whether the Appellant faced a real chance of persecution now or in the reasonably foreseeable future, and the Reviewer adequately considered whether the Appellant could safely return to Jaghori by reference to country information about secure routes and the particular objections raised by the Appellant. No appellable error was shown in the Federal Magistrate's decision.
