VA6-02954

The claim was rejected because the claimant lacked credibility on material allegations, failed to establish persecution linked to a Convention ground, and country evidence indicated generalized crime and social tension rather than targeted state‑sponsored or state‑unremedied persecution; therefore she is neither a Convention refugee nor a person in need of protection.
