The panel found pervasive, material inconsistencies between the claimant's PIF, RoE and oral testimony, significant omissions (notably failure to disclose beatings and detentions in the RoE and PIF), and absence of corroborative medical documentation; these credibility failings negate a finding of a well‑founded fear of persecution or personal risk of torture or cruel treatment, and under ss.96 and 97(1) IRPA the claim must be rejected.

Procedural Posture
