TA3-03726

The Tribunal rejected the claim on the balance of probabilities because the claimant's activism in IESS was minor and voluntary, the 2002 beating was an isolated incident without corroboration of ongoing state persecution, the alleged police interest was implausible, and there is no demonstrated risk to life or risk of cruel or unusual treatment; therefore neither claimant is a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
